IMPORTANT: I have written a book about our experiences selling at Street Fairs, festivals, A&C Shows, fairs, flea markets. I know that you will really find reading it quite enjoyable and you'll be able to relate to a lot of things that I describe. Having to endure 71 mph winds, heavy rains, floods, lying and cheating promoters. You'll love it. Only $14.95. Street Fairs for profit, fun and madness
I have been compiling a listing of companies that offer insurance for vendors at craft shows, festivals, etc.
Specialty Insurance Agency. I looked at their website and it's hard to find info about policies. The policies run from September to August and it's roughly $350 per year. You really need to wait until September in order to get your money's worth. I have a friend who is insured through them and he says they are excellent. They also have an ad in Craftmaster News (pg 121 Feb/Mar issue) paper issue. You may subscribe to this publication. Best around.
Center West Insurance Agency. Tel 800-455-6974. centerwestinsurance@lanset,com I saw their ad in Craftmaster and looked at their website but didn't see anything about specific policies. Recommend emailing them for info.
RLI Home Business Insurance. This looks like it might be decent. Check it out.
To see more, please visit my website for the complete listing
If you know of any others, please let me know.... thank you

On Mardi Gras day they paraded through the town making as much noise as they could so that most all the people came out to see what was happening. History was made that day. Joe Cain became a hero, and ended up appearing in every Mardi Gras celebration until his death in 1904.Nevada City was officially sanctioned in 1993 as the only city outside of Mobile, Alabama to celebrate Joe Cain’s Mardi Gras Celebration Days!
