Vendors - Craft Fair

Thank you for your interest in participating at an FHDA craft fair event!

The information provided below does not apply to the Farmer’s Market.

Please Note:

• All prospective vendors will be juried/interviewed by the Event Coordinator.
• No multi-tier, wholesaler, commercial or import vendors will be accepted.
• Items for sale at this event must be 85% handcrafted by the applicant.

How vendors are notified of their application status is explained at length during the submittal process. We thank you in advance for reading our application in its entirety! Please do not contact FHDA to inquire as to the status of your application. 

California Seller’s Permit

California law requires that ALL VENDORS have a valid California Seller’s Permit. Your nine-digit permit number must be disclosed on this application as it will be verified for validity prior to acceptance. If you do not have a California Seller’s Permit, call the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly known as the California State Board of Equalization) at (916) 227-6700 or go to their website to get started – https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/pub107/#applying

This is NOT a Business License number.

FHDA is not able to assist with permits.

Submitting an application is NOT confirmation of event participation.

Keep an eye out for emails from “notify@pinwheelmail.com“. Do not reply as it’s an unmonitored mailbox.

Whether you are a returning vendor or a new vendor, every application will be placed in a “Waitlisted” status. Since this is a juried craft fair, applications are not first come, first served. Any of the following three scenarios will happen …

• Applications that are deemed approved will proceed through to the payment process. After a credit card payment is successfully completed, vendors will receive an automatically generated “Registered” status email confirming their participation. (Please transfer funds in advance or notify FHDA of a change in credit card information, etc. FHDA does not have the bandwidth to correct processing errors on a vendor’s behalf.) If a vendor needs to change the credit card information originally provided, notify FHDA asap and submit a second application with the new information. If FHDA is not contacted first, the duplicate application may be deleted.
• Applications that are deemed not approved will NOT be charged regardless of payment information having been provided on this application. Vendors will receive an automatically generated “Withdrawn” status email from our event program. (This will be the ONLY communication sent so check your spam/junk folder! “Withdrawn” is the program’s language, not FHDA’s choice.) Please do not submit multiple applications as they will be deleted for duplicates. FHDA has full discretion.
• Applications that remain waitlisted throughout our review process will NOT be charged regardless of payment information having been provided on this application unless the application is ultimately deemed approved. If neither of the two aforementioned decisions are made by FHDA, vendors will ONLY receive the initial “Waitlisted” status email. Please do not submit multiple applications as they will be deleted for duplicates.

Vendors are NOT participating in our event until they receive a “Registered” status email.
