Overview
 The 19th Annual Central Dauphin Band
Boosters Spring Craft Show will be held on Saturday,

The show is held indoors at our
state-of-the-art high school located at 437
Piketown Road in Harrisburg, PA (at the
intersection with Route 39 (Linglestown
Road)) with easy access from Interstates
I-81 and I-83. Admission and parking are

Last year's show have featured handcrafted
merchandise from nearly 200 crafters, food
concessions, and door prizes held throughout
the day. All proceeds from the craft show
support the Central Dauphin High School band
programs.
 Merchandise
The Spring Craft Show traditionally
draws many shoppers looking for
specially-made, unique items. Handcrafted
items are the emphasis of our show. Thus, we
reserve the right to refuse crafter
assignments for anyone offering
commercially-made or franchised items. No
animals or fish, or burning of candles,
incense or potpourri are allowed.
Setup & Breakdown
For past shows, setup has begun at 6:00
a.m. Volunteers will be available to
assist in unloading your vehicle. After
unloading, all vehicles must be moved to the
assigned crafter parking area. Do not mount,
tape, or nail anything on walls. Show is
from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Break down time
begins at 3:00 p.m. No exceptions to this
rule. Anyone who disregards this time and
begins breaking down early will not be
considered for future shows.
Concessions
We will serve food and drinks the
entire day from the school cafeteria.
Frequently Asked Questions

our crafters. We reserve the right to refuse
crafter
assignments for anyone offering commercially
made or franchised items. This is not a

crafters reserve more than one space to
display their wares.

donate a craft item for our door prize
promotion. Customers may purchase chances to
win these craft items. Drawings are held at
frequent intervals throughout the day. You

Q. Is there convenient parking available?

Q. How are crafters selected?
A. Returning crafters from last year's
show are given priority in crafter space
assignment by our Craft Show Committee.
After returning crafter assignments are made,
the committee carefully reviews other

electrical needs, type of merchandise and
number of spaces requested. Traditionally,
there has been a waiting list for crafters
wishing to participate in our show.
