for our 51st Annual Holiday Craft Fair located at Bonny Eagle High School
The fair takes place at Bonny Eagle High School, located at 700 Saco Road, Standish, ME 04084
The Bonny Eagle Craft Fair is the major fundraising event for The Old Red Church in Standish, ME (est. 1804) and is sponsored by the Trustees of the Church. Proceeds from our Fair support the awarding of scholarships to Bonny Eagle High School Seniors and the maintenance of The Old Red Church.
In addition to our fundraising goal, the Trustees seek to recognize, foster and honor the hands-on originality, individual creativity and personal commitment of crafters, both traditional and contemporary. In an effort to maintian the integrity of the fair, only hand crafted items are accepted. Therefore, we call your attention to the following guidelines for future entry and acceptance as exhibitors at this Craft Fair.
>> FAIR GUIDELINES:
All work exhibited and offered for sale must be created by the exhibiting craft person. The resale of any item produced by another, commercial or handcrafted, does not meet this fair’s requirements. These items include:
-
Embellished or altered items substantially created/manufactured by another.
-
Items made from kits.
-
Items made substantially from electronically operated machines (for example, items produced by electronically operated knitting or weaving machines, even if the machine is operated by the exhibitor).
-
Prints and photographs are acceptable only if the original was created by the crafter.
The Old Red Church screening committee is responsible for the maintenance of the “original, handmade” criteria and may question crafters if there are concerns about whether or not crafters meet the criteria.
Please bear in mind that these rules were created to preserve the integrity of our fair. Compliance with these guidelines and rules will impact future invitations to participate in the fair.
