Arts and Craft Fair Details:

• No food vendors or direct sales vendors will be accepted.
• Booth spaces are located on the street just outside Memorial Park. Streets are closed to vehicle traffic and Hale St. and Karlskoga Ave are used for vendors.
• This event is outside and will be held rain or shine. There is no rain site. Artists are encouraged to have suitable materials to protect work from inclement weather.

Streets in the area will be closed on Saturday morning to accommodate the Cosley Zoo Run for the Animals 5K/10K and you will not have access to your booth until that time. If you set up on Saturday, you will not be able to pull your car close to the booth due to the road closures.
