Who makes that cute sock monkey on your poster?  Ponca City's own FriedOkra is the sock monkey genius. She will be at Deluxe and you can also shop online. The applications for the Dec. 11, 2010 show will be up soon. For the first time, applications will be web-based. How do I get to Deluxe? We're at Oklahoma State Fair Park, in the Centennial Building. This is just off of I-44, a couple miles west of I-35. Will there be a prize for the best display again? Yes! The vendor who creates the most lovely, interesting and thoughtful display will win a $50 cash prize, a swell rosette and their booth fees for their next Deluxe event will be waived. Can share a booth with my friend? Yes, but you and your friend must each apply for separate booths and request placement next to each other. If you want to set up your physical space as one unit, that’s fine with us. This is to make it easy on JD, who is placing vendors in 60+ booths. Don't forget that each applicant must submit a $10 application fee. I offer artistic services such as caricatures, custom portraits and photography. Should I apply to Deluxe? Yes! Some of the most memorable Deluxe artists offer such services. Can I sell supplies or other items which I did not make with my own hands (sewing machine, lathe, et al)? Probably not. But ask us if you think you’ve got something which will change our minds. Am I responsible for collecting sales tax as a Deluxe Vendor? Will lunch be catered? No, but the State Fair will set up a food booth at Deluxe. If you prefer healthy food, it’s best to bring your own snacks and meals. Who’s in charge of Deluxe? JD McCoy and Sara Cowan, two of the original Deluxe directors. I have a big wad of cash to throw at you. Do you want it? Yes! If you're a locally-owned business we'd love your sponsorship. Does my stuff qualify for participation in Deluxe? If you made it and it’s interesting and original, apply! Be sure it's family-friendly. People sometimes bring kids to Deluxe and there is no "Adults Only" section. If your business card says "Independent Sales Representative," Deluxe is probably not the show for you. Can I sell food, candy or spice mix at Deluxe? No. Sorry.Will you be advertising, promoting and generally pimping
out this event? Can I make promo items to put in the goodie bags? Yes! We will offer free goodie bags to the first 50 customers. If you can, please donate 50 small items (stickers, samples, coupons, etc.) with your business name affixed on it somewhere, and we'll add them to the goodie bags! Please be sure to get items to us before Dec. 1. What can I do to help promote Deluxe? Print some posters and spread the word! There are also graphic ads to use on Facebook, as well as your blog. Please invite all of your Facebook friends to Deluxe using this event page. Do you have any tables I can rent for my booth?
Yes, the cost is $10 to rent an 8 foot table. You
can add this fee onto your booth fee in your application. No day-of-show table additions, as this causes confusion and delay. Are tables or chairs included in the booth fee? No. In order to keep booth fees low, we let vendors "itemize" their needs. No use paying for a table or electricity if you don't need them, right? You will need to bring a chair. Is this an indoor event? My items are not handmade, but they are really cute/cheap/piratey/useful. Should I apply to Deluxe?
No. When will I know if my work was accepted? I was not selected as a Deluxe artist. What happens to the booth fee check I sent you? Your booth fee check will be destroyed.Why wasn't my work accepted to Deluxe? We have many talented applicants, but unfortunately we are not able to accept everyone. There are many possible reasons which may or may not apply to your work:
