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,
