Mini Space: ($85) 4' deep x 8' wide This narrow 4' x 8' space accommodates a 6' table. Many first-time crafters appreciate the ability to have a small space without the pressure to create a large inventory of items.
Regular Space: ($100) 8' deep x 10' wide This 8' x 10' space is ample for most vendors.
Double Space: ($180) 8' deep x 20' wide If you would like to double the size of your area, you will receive a discount on the second space. Your floor space will be 8' x 20'. A double end space (16' deep x 10' long) requires two corner fees, $30 each. Double corners are limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Corner Space ($30 additional) If you prefer a corner, there is an additional $30 fee. A corner space is defined as being at the end of a row, thus having two sides of the booth accessible to shoppers. A corner space does not mean it is in the corner of the gym/track. These are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tables ($10) & Chairs ($3) You may bring your own, or HRCA has a limited number of chairs and 6' x 2.5' tables available for rent. We prefer you pre-register for these, as it is difficult to provide them the day of the event. If ordered in advance, we will place them in your booth space prior to your booth set up. The day of the event rental tables are $13 and chairs are $5.
Electricity ($35) Many vendors prefer to bring lights or items which require electricity. There are limited outlets and amperage available. Please list your electrical needs on the registration form. HRCA does not provide extension cords.
