Additional Information:

Booth Sitters will be provided by the Funky Staff if you need to take a break. Simply flag one down and they will gladly watch your booth for a few minutes. If they are on a present funky mission, they will radio it in!

Q: Does the Funky Finds Spring Fling take a percentage of my sales from the show?

A: No. All profits are yours. Your application & entry fees are your only financial obligation. Funky Finds does not require you to present any type of tax info/business license. However, you may be required to report earnings to the IRS for the 2009 tax year but we don't have anything to do with that.

Q: How much room will I have?

A: You will have a designated area measuring 10' x 10' within which to set up your display.

Q: Does the venue have good lighting?

A: There are three rows of overhead fluorescent lights (double-bulbed) going to whole distance of the venue. These lights will be on. The facility allows for natural lighting as well. Feel free to bring your own equipment for additional lighting in your booth space.

Q: Why is there an additional charge for tables and chairs?

A: We are renting the requested number of tables and chairs from the Will Rogers Memorial Center, hence the additional cost. The chairs are very nice and are padded for comfort. They will be waiting for you at your booth location when you arrive to set up.

Q: Where does the rest of the money go?

A: All sponsorship money and vendor booth rental fees are allocated to the cost of facility rental, advertising, promotional and printing costs, equipment rental fees and other incidentals incurred to make this event happen.

Q: Why do I have to donate an item for the raffle?

A: Vendors are not required to donate an item for the raffle. However, this is a great opportunity to generate excitement amongst consumers. The money raised will benefit the Aflac Cancer Center & Blood Disorders Service, Humane Society of North Texas, and the Tarrant Area Food Bank.

Q: When do I deliver my donated item(s) for the charitable raffle?

A: Please bring your donated item(s) when you check in for setup on April 24. We will tag your item with a number & log it in for the raffle.

Q: Are vendors allowed to sell food?

A: If you are planning to offer samples of food items to sell, please complete and fax the Food Sample Form to David Reeves at (817) 392-2755. You will also need to obtain a health permit as outlined on the form. You are not allowed to cook. As long as the packaged food items are not opened at the Spring Fling, you do not need any special permissions. Please instruct your customers to not open the items if you do not complete the required forms.
