New Guy Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I saw a notice in the paper today for a Craft Fair in a town 20 miles from me sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. There was still booths available but to register you need to prove you had insurance. Is this insurance requirement normal to participate in a craft fair? I have not participated in a craft fair so just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vott1 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 In my area the craft show done by the Chamber of Commerce is the only one that requires insurance. The sellers there are more like "as seen on TV" than a real craft show New Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Most shows that require liability insurance offer a one day policy for a small fee. Call the promoter to see if they offer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 We have some that require insurance. It's cheaper for the venue then for the year. The ones that require it my area are larger shows and in my experience worth it. I have insurance through my business but it is expensive.

Lucky2 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I used to carry liability insurance when I was into selling my work, it didn't cost much at the time. Some places require it, other places cover you with their insurance. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
