Hi there,

Congratulations once again on your acceptance to Boardman River Fall Art & Craft Show. Please go to www.blueribbonevent.com and make those final booth payments if you haven't already. The full booth payment was due 7/12/26 for early bird discount. Many thanks to those that made timely payments without being poked.

An email blast will go out to 17000 Traverse City Record Eagle subscribers and a copy of ad scheduled for newspaper is below that is running. We are also listed & featured on TraverseCity.com along with many state and local online calendars.

The most current email will also be found under the artist info tab on our website here: ARTIST INFO

Just click on your event.

Event setup will start at 6:30am Saturday. There is NO Friday setup.

Please pull up, park and walk to checkin for booth assignments.

• If you have a trailer and want to leave for weekend, please email me size of trailer as I will have dedicated space to leave overnight. This MUST be reserved in advance for logistical reasons.

Please make sure you have weights. I am NOT flexible on this for the safety of other makers and for the safety of the public. You are near water! Staking is allowed as well. No water jugs, cat litter bottles. Weight checks will be done once you get tent setup.

1. White tents only unless you are a sponsor or a food vendor!
2. If using a generator, for the courtesy of your neighbors and customers, it must be 50 feet away from your booth and you must let us know if using before event. Make sure you have at least a 50 foot extension and any tape, mat or anything you need to cover any sidewalk or walkway.
3. You may stake on these grounds in addition to your weights. Staking is not a reason to NOT bring your weights.
4. Provided the grounds are not wet, most booths will be able to drive up to unload. You must move your car to artist parking BEFORE setting tent up. You will be driving along the sidewalk. Otherwise, you will have to dolly in. It is STOP, DROP and ROLL!
5. FYI, this location will have 3 events next year. Short's Brewing is opening a new location next door.

Please be sure to share Facebook event. You may also post photos and info for shoppers. Each artist paid timely will be featured here. 1st artist reel will start circulating in socials next week. Have you liked, comment and shared to your followers yet? This helps everyone! I will be giving a premium booth location away to the one who shares the most!

We are here to serve and assist you to maximize your sales!

• Event staff on location throughout duration of the event. If you need a booth sitter for a bathroom break, call (231)350-8277

Lastly, many of the events for summer season are filling up. Jewelry, wood and fiber are hot categories! If you are looking to add more events please use code TC2026 to waive your jury fee. This coupon is valid until 8/20/26. Also, if you need a payment plan please reach out. Square offers afterpay to those that qualify. All flyers are below.

I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new artists.

Smile and keep shining!
