Applications are due Monday November 21st!
We're excited to be hosting the Holiday Craft Fair again this year on Wednesday, December 7th from 2-7pm in the Community Room.
Vendor spaces are available in two sizes: Large (~6ft x 6ft) for $30 or Small (~ 3ft x 6ft.) for $15. Tables are not provided, but chairs are available. You will be required to stay within your allotted space.
Spaces are limited. For the most part, vendor applicants are accepted on a first-applied, first-placed basis. However, we like to provide the community with variety at the Fair, and our Craft Fair Coordinator will have the final say on which vendors participate.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: People’s Safer Space Policy
People’s Food Co-op strives to create a safer and accessible space that values everyone. When present on Co-op property, each person is expected to respect all aspects of people’s identities including their ethnicity, sex, gender expression, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion, political affiliation, nationality, size, age, and ability.
Physical or verbal abuse, sexual or any other form of harassment, theft, or damage of property is simply not tolerated. Someone who is unable to meet these expectations will be asked to leave the property.
If you feel that someone is in violation of this policy please talk to a staff member.
