FAQs
Q: Extra hand with carrying items?
A: We do not have the resources to assist with carrying items and cannot hold personal items at the front desk while browsing the store. Folks are responsible to carry their item/s. Best to keep in the vehicle until time to get in the appraisal line. May also use a cart or child's wagon to move the item/s in.
Q: What about furniture?
A: Furniture like trunks, chests, drawers, tables and such are too large to bring to the Faire. Best to bring good quality pictures of the item, including pictures of the back and bottom. If possible bring along a piece of the furniture, like a drawer.
