Tips & Advice
- Stop by the Auxiliary's own tables, because their proceeds go straight to uncompensated care and pediatric cancer research at Seattle Children's Hospital.
- If you're a vendor, bring at least one door prize item with your business card to setup, since every vendor is asked to donate one.
- Vendors should bring their own table and a power strip, because tables aren't provided and electrical plug-ins and perimeter spaces are limited.
- Look for the homemade jams, honey, candy and spices, which licensed vendors sell alongside the handmade crafts.
