How to Buy
Buy Scrip First: Scrip is required for most purchases. Buy strips of $0.50 tickets at the scrip tent or at the rummage sale, clothing sale, or in the Annex Hall. Exception: the Craft Fair vendors handle their own payments in cash, credit, etc. — you can shop there without scrip.
Bring Cash or Checks: Though we do plan to have one location where you may purchase scrip by credit/debit card, we suggest bringing cash or check so you can purchase scrip wherever most convenient.
Printable Event Guide: We’ll have this event flyer/guide available at the event, but you may preview or print it now as a one-page document.
