3. Exhibitors may set up on
Tuesday or Wednesday. We have found that this eliminated a great deal of
the traffic snarls we used to encounter on Wednesdays.
4. The free RV spaces are for
our exhibitors only. This is dry camping, so plan accordingly.
Reservations are required – there are only 40 spaces.
5. If an exhibitor wants to
have ice in their booth for coolers, you may purchase some from the
Office. We would like to know ahead of time so we can order enough ice for
everyone’s needs.
6. If you have a trailer on
site, it MUST have one of our ID tags on it. Your booth number must be on
that tag. (In case of an emergency with a trailer, we would like to be
able to locate the owner.)
7. Children belonging
to exhibitors must be kept under supervision. Children
on bikes, skate boards, etc., must stay out of the Festival site area.
8. We help exhibitors find
local accommodations by providing a list of local hotels from the Chamber
of Commerce and Visitor's Bureau of Bentonville and Rogers. Lists can be
found on their websites located on our Links page. In addition, there are
Bella Vista organizations who host bed and breakfast arrangements in their
members' homes for our exhibitors. These groups, who are raising money for
their scholarship funds, are listed on the Links page. They should be
called directly.
9. Each year we strive to
provide perfect weather during our Festival. However, we are not always
successful. Please check weather forecasts and prepare accordingly.
10. The Fine Arts Market tent
(FAM) is an invitation-only space. We try to select a good variety of
top-flight artists for our visitors to be able to see the work and visit
with the artist, asking questions or observing demonstrations. Visitors
enjoy getting to know the artists on a personal level.
11. Good sales depend totally
upon the exhibitor. Good current products will sell, but a good exhibitor
greets people at their booth and connects with them to make them
customers. Well-designed booths will showcase products in order for
customers to see them and get ideas of how they can be used.
12. Our rules state that
exhibitors be here, in their booth, during the Festival. Please abide by
this. We publicize that visitors may talk with the maker of the items in
the booth. Please observe this rule.
13. If any of our exhibitor’s
have a website, we will be happy to add a link to our Links page. In
return, we would request a link on your web page.
