Here are all the details.....

This is a free event open to ALL.

There is no fee to reserve the limited number of tables required to sell your used books and materials. We are very limited on tables so please try to  bring your own. ALL SELLERS MUST PRE-REGISTER in order to have space to sell.

We do ask that you read the following guidelines and agree to them in order for the event to run smoothly.

USED BOOK SELLERS:

Tables are limited. Please let us know if you need us to provide a table or if you can provide your own. All tables available right now are 6 ft. If you are bringing your own table, specify the size. We will provide a few feet behind each table as well as at least 1 ft on each side of your table.

Set up is on Saturday, June 19 from 1 – 3 PM.

Book Fair Hours are 3:30 – 8:30 PM. We ask that you have your table manned during the entire time. During the final workshop you may start to tear down.

You are responsible to collect the money for your own books. Please provide your own change as well. You decide what kind of payment you will accept (i.e., cash only or cash and checks.)

Assignment of table space is determined by various considerations including the date of the request for a table.

You may share your table with more than one person but each person selling at a table needs to 
provide their information (name, address, phone and e-mail).

Your children are welcome but there is no child care. Please be sure your children are supervised at all times.

All materials sold must be acceptable to Christian homeschooling parents. The organizers reserve the right to ask you to remove anything that they deem inappropriate. No Occult, e.g., Harry Potter.

Request for space can be made by e-mailing Teresa at MyAw4Hm@aol.com or calling 229-776-8823

NEW BOOK VENDORS:

Book fair hours are 1 – 3 PM Please be sure to man your booth the entire time.

Priority will be given to used book sellers first and then new book vendors.

You are responsible to collect your own money from your sales and to pay all applicable sales tax.

All materials sold must be acceptable to Christian homeschooling parents. The organizers reserve the right to ask you to remove anything that they deem inappropriate.

Only the vendor requesting space can exhibit. Please do not exhibit another business without prior permission.

Assignment of table space is determined by various considerations including the date of the request for space.

Please specify the size space that you require. Because of limited tables, please provide your own tables. We will try to provide some if you need them.

No child care is provided. Please be sure your children are supervised at all times.

Set up for New Vendors is Saturday afternoon from 1-3. If you need extra time to set up, 
please contact MyAw4Hm@aol.com to arrange to come earlier that day.

Vendors agree that no criticism will be made of other vendors, attendees, the book fair or 
organizers except to the book fair coordinator.

Request for space can be made by e-mailing 
Teresa at MyAw4Hm@aol.com or calling 229-776-8823 

ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS:

Because this is an area wide event, only groups that are available to all homeschooling families will be allowed to display. An example is an organization that will accept membership from the homeschool community at large would be if you have to be a member of a specific group to be part of your organization, it is best to target your specific group. We will accept a group that is a Christian-only group however.

 Organizations and groups agree that no criticism will be made of other vendors, groups, attendees, 
the book fair or organizers except to the book fair coordinator.

Priority will be given to used book sellers first and then to new book vendors. As space is available we will allow groups and organizations one table.

Set up for organizations is from 1 – 3 on Saturday. You agree to have someone at your display during the entire event.

Only the organization listed may set up a display. No sharing of table space without permission.

Each organization will provide a contact name, address, phone and e-mail.

Because tables are limited, you may have to supply your own table in order to have a display. 
Children are welcome but there is no child care. Please be sure your children are supervised at all times.

Assignment of table space is determined by various considerations including the date of the request for space.

All materials and information must be acceptable to Christian Homeschooling families. The organizers reserve the right to ask you to remove anything they deem inappropriate.

Organizations and groups may not sell anything at this event.
