SALES INFORMATION

The Oregon Country Fair features hand-made, hand-crafted or significantly hand-altered items for sale by the artisan. Imported or manufactured items are inappropriate for the Oregon Country Fair.

No pipes, bongs, or other tools to ingest illegal drugs, nor any other drug paraphernalia, may be displayed or sold on OCF property at any time.

New Crafters

Each year a few new applicants are approved through the jury process to sell their crafts at the Fair. Applicants with the highest jury scores for that year will be placed in one-year-only booths and required to share these booths with other approved craftspersons.

For purposes of jurying a craft, a new craftsperson is defined as a craftsperson who has not been at any of the three previous years’ Fairs selling their approved craft.

Sales space

Sales space is not guaranteed to all approved crafters; there is simply not enough booth space available to all the craftspeople who want to participate. Crafters who are approved by the jury but whose scores do not guarantee them placement in one-year-only booths, as well as any crafters who have been displaced from a booth at the Fair, are encouraged to do the following:

  • Network with booth representatives to find available sales space; this can be done during the Fair or during the off-season.
  • Contact Registration in the spring (boothreg@oregoncountryfair.org) to request that their names be placed on the wait/share list a list of crafters looking for space. Booth representatives are encouraged to use this list to contact crafters if space becomes available in their booths. The wait-share list is published in the OCF newsletter, Fair Family News, for greater exposure.
  • Place an individual ad in the Fair Family News stating their needs and requesting sales space. Ads are limited to 30 words maximum and cost $5 per ad, per month. Please write to ffn@oregoncountryfair.org.

Strolling Crafters

There is sometimes a limited number of assignments available for new Strolling crafters who can sell their items from a cart. They are meant to provide the Fair with a continually changing atmosphere on the paths. Strolling crafters are expected to stroll.

Children's Crafts

Children age 18 and younger may sell unjuried articles (kid's crafts) in their registered booth only. All items must be hand-crafted, hand-made, home-grown, hand-gathered or significantly altered by the child selling the craft.

Booth Fees

Crafts persons pay a booth fee of $380 for the weekend. This is shared among all crafters in a booth and is in addition to your $5 application fee.

If you have any more questions, please call 541-343-4298, ext. 387 or e-mail craftinventory@oregoncountryfair.org.
