  • If you're looking for a particular crafter, check which weekend they're there, because not all exhibitors take part in both weekends.
  • Leave your dog at home, since only service animals are allowed at the show.
  • Bring a little extra for parking, because it's charged separately from admission.
  • Come hungry, because specialty food and beverages are sold right alongside the crafts.
