Tips for Kid Vendors

- Make things you enjoy making and would love to get as a gift or you would buy as a gift for parents or siblings.
- Bring lots of cash and a way to keep it organized to make change (and keep separate cash for your own purchases).
- Think about the ""window dressing"" of your table and products. Table cloth, signage, clear pricing, displays, making your products look good.
- Each vendor is allowed and highly encouraged to make one Facebook post about their products on our member page during the two weeks before the event. This is great marketing not only for your products but also to get more members to come and shop.
- Consider offering items with different price points.
- Be prepared to smile, look people in the eye, say hello to people walking by your table, and explain what you have to offer.
- Politely ask a parent or a sibling to ""work"" your table when you want to go shop so you do not miss any sales and can still support our friend's businesses.
- Talk to your parent about setting you up to accept Venmo or PayPal friends for payment and have a sign with a QR Code to make that payment method easy.
- Have FUN!!!!


Adult ticket is NOT required.

This is NOT a drop off event. Adults must be present."

This class will be appropriate for all ages. It is not drop off, parents are required to attend. Under 2, if not participating, do not need to register for a space but may attend. Adults must register as well for a free adult spot.

Out of the Cold: this session we will explore how we can help dogs, cats and small animals stay safe in the cold weather. We will help by building a community cat shelter to give to our local animal control.

This is not a drop off program, children do need an adult with them.
Registration cost is per child. This is a change from RISPCA's programs last year.
If you would also like to bring a donation item on the day of the event, please see the RISPCA's Wish List graphic.
