December 1 & 2, 2012 |
San Luis Obispo |
11 front and 10 deep spaces are only $180. |
December 1 & 2, 2012-San Luis Obispo, Holiday in the Plaza, in front of the Mission, near Marsh and Chorro Streets
and Monterey street. The city of San Luis Obispo has been putting on this event for many years, and now it is part of
The Craft Fair! 11 front and 10 deep spaces are only $180. There will still be a Santa's house, food, and live music.
This has been a very successful event in the past. For this event apply only if you make your own arts and crafts.
I do allow exceptions in my other fairs, as most of you know. This fair has been strictly juried in the past, and I would
like to keep it that way. The city will be allowing me to park my motorhome next to the fair for the entire weekend,
so as in my other fairs, I will be there night and day. If you are handicapped please let me know, and I will assign spaces accordingly. It would be great if you decorate your booth for Christmas. This fair will go on rain or shine, as all of my
other fairs, and there will be no rain date. After living here, I have found that the chance of rain is much higher in late
December and into spring, so chances are we will have nice weather. The average rainfall is about 3 " in December,
and the average highs are in the mid to upper 60's, and the average lows are in the mid to lower 40's.
