Event DetailsPermalink
So, here’s the deal, we’d love to have any club member who wants to participate to join in! We will have a 10x10 space, the club has purchased two 6 foot by 3 foot tables and a 10x10 canopy. We welcome anyone who wishes to sell to participate. I just need to be informed beforehand who will be participating and what day(s) they will participate and what hours (just be aware that space will be made available on a first come, first served basis). If you don’t have plants to sell but still wish to help out, we welcome that, too, and it would be a great help!
Plant SalesPermalink
The Fern Society gets 15% of all sales to cover cost of reserving space and raising funds for the society. We are also paying $100 (I’m assuming, but I have not been supplied payment directions yet and the payment cutoff for the $100 discount rate was by May 31, but I did get our reservation in well before that time) for the space. So the charge to sell at this show will be 20% (unlike our usual “no charge to sell” policy). The extra 5% will hopefully raise enough to cover the space charge. If it does not, then each seller will have an extra charge to cover the shortage, calculated proportionately based on their amount of sales versus the total amount of sales. Hopefully we don’t have a shortage, but an overage, which will help replenish the club coffers after the purchase of the tables and canopy.
For any plants for sale please make sure they are free of pests, and weeded of any undesirable extras. Each plant will REQUIRE two tags. One tag to identify the name of the plant. The other tag needs to have this data, preferably in this order; Price asking, and your initials. It’s possible, but not likely, that we may have participants with the same initials, so come prepared to add a number to your initials on your tag just in case that happens. We have to have a centralized checkout because the Fern Society will be distributing receipt books where we will be required to register every sale and the amount and that have to be turned in at the end of each day.
Show and DonationsPermalink
The Fern Society would also appreciate it if we donated some plants, and also enter some plants into their show. I have asked what the categories are for their show, and am awaiting further details on that. If anyone would like to donate some plants (not required they be CP) just bring them with you to the event. If you have any plants you want to show, start getting them ready!
So here’s the call to action!
Who’s going to help out with the Fern show?
