Where do I unload?
If you are a vendor in the Doris Building, you may either load in through our front doors at 930 Broad or from our back door at 915 Ellis St. Look for an iron gate with a vendor load in sign. There is much less traffic on Ellis Street, so this is recommended.

Any special load-in instructions?
Please bring a cart/hand truck/etc. to carry in your items. We have a few volunteers and carts, but your load in will go more smoothly if you are prepared.
What should I bring?

What if I need help at the event?

Is there WiFi available?
Yes There is a wifi network available for use at the Doris Building, but it is not always reliable. We cannot guarantee fast, consistent internet access. The WIFI information will be included in your Vendor Welcome Packet.
Anything else I need to be aware of?
Chairs are provided but tables are not. Vendors are responsible for providing their own table, set up, and the security of products. Vendors will be responsible for taking payments for sold items. Vendors are responsible for all trash clean-up in their area before and after the event. Two-day indoor Doris Building vendors will be able to leave items overnight but Items will be left at your own risk. The Augusta Handmade Fair is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
