There is a $20 fee for a table to sell items at our event (no fee, if not selling); this fee will be waived if you are providing a free activity for the public (coloring sheet, prize drawing, game demos/tournament, etc). We require that all vendors acknowledge their intention to pay any required taxes on items they sell at our event.
