The Shanty Days Committee of the Algoma
Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that they are taking
applications for the annual Street Fair in conjunction with this year's
Shanty Days Celebration of the Lake.. The Street Fair is held on Saturday
and Sunday, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.
The Street Fair is located on a two-block closed-off portion of Fremont
Street which connects the Main Grounds to the Arts & Crafts Show.
Given its location, the Street Fair has excellent foot traffic.
The Shanty Days Street Fair is designed to give vendors whose
products do not fit the strict "handmade only" rule of the juried
art show, an outlet for selling their wares to the huge crowds that
Shanty Days draws each year. The Shanty Days attendance in recent
years has been estimated at more than 20,000.
Vendor spots on Fremont Street are 12 x 12 and the cost of the
2-day 2006 event is $75 per spot. Prices for additional spots are
as follows:
|
Double Spot
|
24 x 12

Triple Spot

Vendors must supply their own tables
and display areas. Very limited "deep spaces" which allow a vehicle
to be parked with your stand are available. THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY
AVAILABLE FROM THIS SITE. The Algoma Police Department gives us permission
to keep the street closed overnight from Saturday to Sunday. This
allows vendors the option to leave canopies and tables set up, if
you so desire. Please be aware that no special security is provided
and the Street Fair is adjacent to the Main Grounds, so you may wish
to be selective in what items you leave out overnight.
Any vendors selling food products must have a valid license from
the State of Wisconsin and must abide by the sales and packaging
regulations of the Department of Health. A copy of the necessary
license should accompany your vendor registration form for food
or canned goods.
Space at the Street Fair is limited and spots will be assigned
on a first come, first served basis. A 50% deposit returned with
your registration form will hold your spot. You will be billed for
the balance with the balance due June 1st.
