MASON - New crafter applications are still being accepted for the 28th annual Spring Fling Courthouse Show in Mason scheduled for 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. May 7.
The show is an outdoor show around the Ingham County Courthouse in downtown Mason and is held rain or shine. The show features a mix of arts and crafts, flea market, food vendors and community group booths.
Forms are available at www.masonchamber.org. Call the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce office at (517) 676-1046 from 9 a.m..-3 p.m. on Monday through Friday, for more information.
The 131 lawn and 18 street spaces are 10 feet by 10 feet and the fee is $60 per space. Exhibitors may set up any time after 6 a.m. May 7.
The show is non-juried and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis until all booth spaces are reserved. Electricity is not available. No carpeting or flooring is permitted on lawn spaces. Day-long parking for vendors must be off-street, but several municipal lots are available.
This year, organizers are again moving toward having three main sections in the show: "Artisan's Row" for arts and crafts, "Community Corner" for local groups and "East Market" for flea market and manufactured items. Only one vendor for certain manufactured items is allowed (i.e., Tupperware, Mary Kay, etc.) in "East Market."
There is also an area entertainment stage and an area called "Kid's Korral," which has activities for youngsters.
Michelle Davis of the Shopping Guide and chair of the event said, "Our estimates are that upwards of 4,000 to 6,000 people attend the show each year, depending on the weather."
Davis said it a good response is anticipated this year based on current interest and last year's sold-out success.
