Hope to see you there!
Greetings!
Welcome to the 18th Holistic Festival. The Fest will be on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - yes, we've moved to Saturdays!
The beautiful location, at Centerplace in Mirabeau Point Park, Spokane Valley, is central to Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, just a few minutes from the Pines exit on the freeway, near The Valley Mall.
As always, we will limit the amount of any one type of booth, resulting in our turning away potential vendors after the available slots for that type of booth are taken. Also, the space is slightly smaller than we've had in the past, removing the flexibility to add booths at the last minute. Once filled, we must decline additional vendors. Reserve your space early!
Free 25 minute lectures are offered throughout the day. We draw public interest by providing a diverse presentation. Unfortunately, a lecture spot for every vendor cannot be guaranteed, as only one lecture is presented at a time, so there is limited space. However, do trust that those interested in what you have to offer will visit you at your booth to learn what you have to say! This is one of the biggest benefits in attending a show of this size. As always, we will advertise the lecture schedule in The Inlander, as well as on this website. A program with the lecture schedule and vendor contact information will be given to all attendees as they enter the Festival.
We will be doing our usual advertising, and will appreciate it if you will assist the success of the Festival by distributing postcards and posting flyers wherever you can. Word of mouth is the most valuable advertising available. We'll bring in 500 people if each booth holder attracts only 10 friends and clients. Of course, we'll continue to spread the word through direct mailing and advertising in Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Thank you in advance for donating a gift for the drawing, as it enables us to increase our mailing list - as well as put a smile into someone's life. Donations will be collected at the beginning of the Fest. Do identify your donation with your name and contact information.
Please co-operate with the overall spirit of the Festival by charging for services provided. It creates hardships if one booth gives away the same service that another booth charges a fee to receive. A minimum of $1 per minute for services is recommended.
All the details regarding the Festival are in the Contract & Application. Please read them.
Booth space will not be reserved until payment, Contract, and Application are received.
We look forward to sharing these events with you in the spirit of service and fun.
Blessings, Cindy Gardner & Sybil Vaughn
