July 4, 2012 ● 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

1.    The Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society is proudly sponsoring the 6th annual (this is an established show running on July 4^th for the past 21 years.) “4^th of July Jubilee” craft show on July 4, 2012.  Pamela S. Ash, Craft Show Organizer, will coordinate the show.  The quality and workmanship of the arts and crafts will continue to exceed that of any other show held in this area; the addition of the Re-Sale area will offer items to those who have varied interests.  The show will run from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.  Set-up times: early day-before set-up 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. (you will NOT be allowed to set up BEFORE 2 p.m.); day of show 5:30 to 8:30 a.m.  All vendors MUST be ready to begin sales at 9 a.m. sharp July 4th. 

2.    For the craft show area, all items MUST be quality HANDMADE arts and crafts.  FIRST-TIME crafters to this show must send at least two (2) photos of work with application to determine acceptance into the “craft show” area.  Those who are determined to NOT have ‘handmade crafts’ will be assigned to the Re-Sale area.  Re-Sale (located separately from crafters) may include: wholesale, kits, commercial, antiques and collectibles, and new and general merchandise (this is NOT a garage sale).  Upon acceptance, spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis (returning vendors will be assigned the same booth they had the previous year unless they request a different space).  ALL VENDORS MUST INCLUDE A 4”x9 ½” (SASE) SELF-ADDRESSED, 88¢ STAMPED ENVELOPE WITH APPLICATION AND PAYMENT (If you provide an e-mail address, you will NOT need to send a SASE)!    Phone applications are not accepted!  ALL replies must be received by June 4, 2012.   No refunds given for cancellations.  Vendors will receive a confirmation letter with more details one month before the show if not before.

3.    There will be 94 spaces located INSIDE the Expo Building (not air-conditioned, but I am told it keeps cool); there is unlimited grass area space OUTSIDE if you wish to put up your own E-Z up/tent.  All spaces (crafts and resale) will measure 10’ x 10’.  NO chairs or tables will be provided.  Electricity is (limited and) available INSIDE ONLY. You will not be allowed to drive in the building or on the grass area outside.  NO dismantling of booths until 3 p.m.  VENDORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVAL OF ALL BOXES, PAPER, ETC. FROM THEIR BOOTH AREA AFTER THE SHOW! 

4.    Restroom facilities are available.  Food concessions will also be available.

5.    Any questions may be answered by Pam Ash; home (815) 432-2639, cell (815) 508-4555, psash9@yahoo.com.  Please do not call Kankakee County Fairgrounds as they WILL NOT be able to help you.  Make checks payable to Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society.  Return application, payment, and SASE to: Pam Ash, 1523 E 2100 N Rd., Watseka, IL 60970.

6.    Pamela S. Ash, Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society, and/or Kankakee County Fairgrounds will not be responsible or liable for losses, accidents, breakage, weather-related, or any other tribulations before, during or after the show.  THE EXHIBITOR WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE ORGANIZER, SPONSOR AND/OR HOST.
