- Enter the raffle while you shop, since proceeds go to the care of retired and infirm Sisters at Sacred Heart Manor.
- Ignore any online ads selling vendor space, because the festival has no online application and does not take vendor payments by credit card.
- Friday's hours run into the evening, so it works well as an after-school or after-work stop for the family.
