As you know, SPACES FOR THIS SHOW FILL VERY QUICKLY!!
Table assignments will be on a first come, first served basis only. If you want a table next to another vendor, the applications must be submitted together. We will do our very best to honor any special requests, but cannot make any guarantees.

Red Sled is a juried show for handmade items.  No food items or baked goods are accepted.  First time applicants must submit pictures of their items with the application in order for it to be considered.

• Limit of 2 tables per crafter. To allow for a diverse variety of items, each crafter will be limited to no more than 2 tables, whether together or separate. Any craft is subject to a limit, to ensure a balanced variety for our patrons and crafters.

• We are going to limit the number of jewelry crafters, the exact number has not yet been determined, so get your jewelry applications in early.

• Please make sure to provide an e-mail address. If we have your email address, all communication will be provided through that medium - no hard copies will be issued. (These are for our use only, we don’t share your information.)

• Table assignments will be on a first come, first served basis only. If you want a table next to another vendor, the applications must be submitted together. We will do our very best to honor any special requests, but cannot make any guarantees.

• Special requests should be noted every year, even if you are a repeat vendor. Our Red Sled Committee Chairs are volunteers and the positions are filled on a revolving basis.

• To qualify for the “Ogden Parent” discount, you must have a CURRENT student at Ogden. Living in the district does not count.

• Because this is a fundraiser for our school, cancellations will NOT receive a refund of application fees after application has been accepted. Parking deposit can be refunded as long as we are notified by September 30th.  After that date, the crafter will need to follow the regular parking procedures on the day of the event.

• In an effort to provide convenient parking for our many customers, we are requiring a $10.00 refundable parking deposit from each crafter. Your deposit will be refunded to you only if you relocate your car to our reserve parking lot at Park Jr. High, which is located two blocks west of Ogden School. For individual crafters, we will have volunteers available to staff your table while you move your vehicle.

Red Sled Etiquette

Red Sled etiquette includes the following:

--All items that are sold must be handmade

--Absolutely no resale or baked goods, please

--All of your wares, whether they are displayed on screens or on tables, must fit WITHIN the 8’ x 4’ space provided

--All tables should be covered with some type of cloth, to present a more sophisticated look.

--If you bring your own table, it cannot be larger than 8’ x 2’ 6”

--The ends of tables and rows may not be blocked by screens, boxes or other obtrusive materials. This is for the safety of the crafters and the safety of the customers.
