Artisans &
Craft Exhibitors
Artisans create painting, pottery, woven items, and more...and are on hand to talk about their work, to display their work and to possibly sell their work.
Some of our Artisans since 2006: Elizabeth H.S. Art Club, Liquid Fire Pottery & Paintings, Artists Janine & Mike Thornton, DBD Crafts, Connie's Creations, The Mirrored View (Artist Andrew Gillette), and Joshua Stone from Sterling.
This year, artisans and craft exhibitors will be in the pine trees of Casey Jones Park (just south of the baseball fields).

2009 Elizabeth Celtic Festival
Artisan / Craft Exhibitor-Seller
Information in a nutshell
All applications must be received by July 1st, 2009. Accepted applicants will be notified within two weeks
(or less) of receiving applications. Applications not accepted will be returned along with uncashed fee check.
The Elizabeth Celtic Festival Committee reserves the right to refuse any application.
Event Dates: Sat. & Sun., July 18 & 19, 2009.
Artisan / Craft Exhibitors-Sellers (hereafter called Artisans) are defined as displaying and selling items
which are hand-made by the seller in relatively small quantities. This would include paintings, sketches,
pottery, hand-made crafts, and so on. This does not include Jewelry. If you have a lot of things to sell,
then you would fall under the (Merchandise) Vendor regulations for this festival. Any questions will be
resolved by Wendy Hiserote, supervising the Artisan area this year. The cost of being a Merchandise Vendor
at this festival is $150 for a 10' x 10' space; for Artisans it is $25 for a 10' x 10' space
($50 for a 20' x 10' space). Artisans may choose to come only one day or both days--the fee is the same either
way. Application Deadline is July 1st, 2009. Each Artisan will receive 4 tickets for each day, 1 parking pass,
plus location map (you must check-in first, before setting up); this packet will be mailed on July 5th.
Self-Contained: Each artisan must be self-contained--please bring your own tents, tables and chairs.
If you have a question, ask Wendy Hiserote (303-646-0152).
Check-in & set-up: Recommended check-in and set-up is on Friday afternoon, starting at 4:00 p.m.
(ending at 8:00 p.m.). In most cases you will be able to drive your vehicle next to your tent site to off-load.
Everyone must check-in first before off-loading and setting up.
Early Saturday morning set-up: Vehicle access for off-loading from 7:00-8:00 a.m. All vehicles must be off
the grounds by 8:30 a.m.; "Gates open at 9:00 a.m." for the public. The normal main entrance to Casey Jones Park
(next to the Pavilion Building) is access point for Artisans and Community Organizations for Saturday morning,
but there will be a lot of pressure at this entrance, so it's really important to have someone take your car
back around to main parking area off of Road 17--you have to off-load and move--there will be many other cars
coming in behind you. You absolutely can't set up your tent, then move your car...the car has got to go and
get parked first. Access to your tent site may be not as convienient.
You must stay the whole day: If you come, you agree that you will stay until at least: 5:00 p.m. on Saturday
and 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. No exceptions, please. Saturday will be a long day with evening hours until 8:00 p.m.,
with performances and activities happening, and probably more people, therefore you are urged to stay open until
8:00 p.m. Because of Saturday's long hours, there will be no vehicle access until 8:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Camping: The camping rate at the Festival site (Casey Jones Park) is $50 for an RV, Trailer or "things on wheels"
(no hook-ups) and $20 for a tent. There is just one rate and it's good for the entire Festival. You can opt to
camp at the Elbert County Fairgrounds, 7 miles east, for $30 for an RV/Trailer (hook-ups are available) or $10
for a tent. Register on the application form. Showers will be available at the Elbert County Fairgrounds at
specific times; campers must be registered and show "shower pass" to use showers.
