ARTS & CRAFTS BOOTH REGISTRATION/INFORMATION
Festival Dates: 2nd
FULL weekend in August (August 10 & 11, 2013) In case of disastrous
weather, the SFSF committee will have the final decision to reschedule the
Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival for the last weekend in October.
Deadline:
There are a limited number of Spaces Available, so acceptance is based upon
your arts and crafts items as well as the timeliness of payment with your
application. Please submit your application with all required
information as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call Ana
Scott 910-545-5119 or email at sneads_ferry@rocketmail.com. A backup list will be maintained should there be a
need to replace a vendor.
Registration: Registration fee is $125.00 with a
$50.00 deposit on top of this rate bringing the total amount due with
application $175.00 for the weekend
for all applications and payments received prior to June 1st.

payments received after June 1st. There are no refunds for inclement
weather.
Deposit: Your deposit will be returned to you
within 25 days from the last day of the festival. This deposit is to ensure
several things; the promise to keep your booth open and running during required
operating times, to ensure that you bring ONLY the permitted vehicles allowed,
and to ensure that your vehicle is OFF the grounds by 9am Saturday morning and
may not be drove back onto the grounds until after 5 pm on Sunday. If any one
of the mentioned items or combination of the above mentioned items are not
followed, your deposit will be lost, and you will possibly lose the right for
return for the following year.
Spaces are approximately
12’x15’ for arts and crafts booth vendors. Since we have a few
trees on the festival grounds some spaces may exceed the standard size. Electricity
and water are available. Vendors should bring everything they need to operate
booth, i.e.: extension cords, tent, fan, table, chairs, lights, etc.

the festival, giving you further instructions as well as showing you where your
booth will be on the grounds) All vehicles must be off the field and you
must be set up no later than 9 a.m. Saturday. We have electricity available
so we require that you stay open until the Fireworks begin, at around dusk or
approximately 9 p.m. Sunday’s hours are from noon until 5 p.m. Vehicles
will NOT be allowed on the premises to break down early, violators will
not be welcomed back and will lose their deposit.
Security:
We will have paid Sherriff’s Deputies on the premises from 6 p.m.
Friday until 6 p.m. Sunday, but that does not release you from liability nor
does it hold us liable for theft, fire or destruction.

during the festival. All vehicles MUST be off the grounds by 9 am Saturday

- Overhead: Be aware of overhead power lines. They are installed and maintained by our local electric company and should not be a problem for a standard 10’x10’ tent, but you should still be aware of them.
- Underground: We have underground electric, gas and water lines, they are suppose to be at least 18” in the ground, but they were put in by contractors, please do not drive stakes into the ground. If you sever a line, please IMMEDIATELY notify the Chairperson or a Festival Staff member.
