Sale of birds and bird related items only. No other animals allowed for sale. Items for sale will also be limited to what is listed on your vendor contract or vendor deposit form. This is being done in an attempt to make sure we have a bird fair and not a craft fair and also to try to limit the number of vendors selling the same items.

Please bring a table cloth to cover your table(s) - If you paid for electricity it will be provided but you must bring an extension cord and tape it to the floor - Please let us know if you will need electricity so we can make a drop for you.
