Who made this?

Remember, we have scammers around. As we grow, they seem to be getting savvier.
ONLY message Becky , via email at Jackson. [email protected]
I have many helpers, but NO ONE else has payment or sensitive information.
Message me here or at my business The Dream Stitcher, or my personal if we are Facebook friends.

When they post, its often in groups that we have shared the event in. And they have figured out a way to block us. Please report the posts.

Thanks friends!!

VKayKrafts owner V "Christiana" will be volunteering with chef Andrew to make a hot meal for Pathways 4 Youth youth holiday meal funded by Dusty Bolstad of The Road Ahead Rocks & Crystals. Thank you to both and to Central MN Youth For Christ for letting us use the kitchen for this experience. Youth 16-24 experiencing or at risk of homelessness may join us for the meal below and or speak with the team at pathways for other assistance needed.

GCBB FAQ or FUN FACTS

Bring your tables, chairs, props, etc. We do have a few tables, chairs and canopies for rent.

We will send out maps ahead of the show with your spaces. Some MIGHT be subject to last-minute changes due to family emergencies, cancellations, etc.

We will have spaces marked to the best of our ability. Please be mindful of your vendor neighbors' space as well.

We can not resolve what we do not know is a problem. Please come to us with issues.

For indoor shows - Canopies are allowed. Plan on floor protection for all items. ( felt squares, carpet scraps, rubber stoppers, etc.)

For outdoor shows - plan to secure your canopy with NO stakes or pe*******on of the ground. Weights, sandbags, water jugs or heavier crystal balls are acceptable.
There is also no marking of the grass, permanent or temporary.
Children of vendors are welcome, but please plan accordingly. We do not want any injuries from rough housing or running.

Plan for snacks, food, etc. Only some venues have concessions. We will note which ones.
We try to attract food trucks, but as we all know, that is its own kind of world.
Plan for change for your customers. ( we personally get a bank of 1’s and 5’s) Most sales are with cards these days, so maybe check into Venmo, CashApp, etc if you do not have a card reader. Or make friends with a vendor that has a card reader and agree on the card fees. ( yes, it costs money to accept cards. You can build that cost into your items, OR it can be an additional charge at purchase. It's up to you.)

Is it legal to pass credit card fees to customers in Minnesota?
(a) A seller of goods or services may impose a surcharge on a purchaser who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check, or similar means, provided (1) the seller informs the purchaser of the surcharge both orally at the time of sale and by a sign conspicuously posted on the seller's premises,

Set up begins at 7 AM
Unload your vehicle, then move farther away to leave space for visitors to park. If you need assistance let us know.

Shows start at 10 AM and run until 4 PM unless otherwise noted, weather permitting, acts of the old gods, etc.
We have volunteers that can watch your booth for bathroom breaks, etc. Just let one of us know. We have black shirts with purple logos.

Tear down begins at 4 PM
Clean your space when done, and tear down your boxes too, please.
