Helpie FAQ
frequently-asked-questions
- Are dogs allowed into the Festival?
We love our dogs too! But No! With the obvious exception of Certified Service Animals, this is a park rule so please leave your dogs at home.
- Are the Kids' Activities FREE?
Children 14 and under have a FREE admission price into the Festival. But the providers of special activities like the bounce house zone and pony rides charge their own individual prices for their services.
- Are tickets available at the Gate or may we purchase them in advance?
You may purchase non-refundable but transferrable tickets either in advance at Eventbrite (their fee applies) OR at the gate (cash only but we have ATM if needed). The link to purchase at Eventbrite is on the home page of our website.
If you purchase in advance, check in at the entry tent to either display the e-ticket from your phone or scan a printed copy. You may skip to the front of the line if you purchased in advance.
- Do the Exhibitors accept cash, check, charge, or a combination?
All exhibitors at the Festival, including Food Vendors, are independent contractors. Most accept credit cards and some may also accept checks, depending upon their individual policies.
- Does the Festival go on rain or shine?
Yes! We would only close on day due to an act of God such as a lightning storm or tornado. In such a case, we will not refund any tickets purchased in advance. In the unlikely event of having to close, we will do our best to post an update on our website and social media pages.
- I am interested in becoming an Exhibitor at this show. What do I need to do?
Great! Please go our Exhibitor Website, which is www.craftproducers.com to find information and applications. Or, feel free to email us at info@craftproducers.com or call our office during office hours at 802.489.6650. Please be understanding that starting Wednesday during week of the show we won’t be responding as quickly since we’ll be on site at Lake George for the show.
- I'd like to see a list of all the exhibitors (or a list of food vendors, or a list of live music, or a list of activities for children). Where can I see that?
It’s all here on the website under the respective menus. Please note that when we have late applicants or last minute changes, the details may change. However, for a period of time before and after the show, you should be able to check the Art & Craft Exhibitors page for photos and links for your favorite Artisans. And, as always, if you are trying to track someone down and can’t find them easily, email us at info@craftproducers or call our office during office hours at 802.489.6650 so we can help you.
