Kidmania FAQ

General Event Questions:
  • What safety guidelines will be in place at the Kidmania? The health and safety of our vendors and shoppers is our top priority. We ask that shoppers follow physical/social distancing guidelines and hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout. At this time, the event will be held outdoor at Edwardsville High School. 
  • If Kidmania is canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions, will I get a refund? Yes. In the event that Kidmania is canceled due to Covid restrictions, all vendors and shoppers can either receive a refund, or consider the ticket/booth fees a donation to the Ed/Glen Junior Service Club.
  • What if it rains? Kidmania will be a rain or shine event
Vendor Questions:
  • When can I register for a vendor booth? Past vendors will receive an email noting that the registration form is published with the link. We use the email address provided during registration to contact past vendors for subsequent years. Open vendor registration information will be posted on our Facebook page and our website. 
  • Can I choose where my booth is located? All booth spaces are assigned upon registration. You will have the option to select a preference and the committee chairs will do everything they can to accommodate everyone. Because of the popularity of the event, we unfortunately cannot accommodate everyone 100%.
  • What is the cost per booth space? Vendor booth spaces are $40 per space.
  • Why do you need my personal information? Once we receive your vendor registration and payment you will be added to our database for future communications regarding Kidmania only. You will receive an email packet with your booth location and further instruction about set up, unloading, parking, and more.
  • When can we set up? Set up begins at 6:00am am the morning of the event.
  • Why can’t we set up Friday night? This year, Kidmania will be held outdoors, so we aren’t allowing set up on Friday night.
  • Why can’t we leave unsold items for charity pick up? We are not offering this option at this time. 
  • Why does it feel like we are rushed to pack up following the sale? Kidmania is taking up space at the Edwardsville High School parking lot. We want to be mindful and respectful of other events that may be scheduled to be held there later in the day so we would like to have the area torn down and cleaned up in a timely manner. 
  • What is the booth size and how many tables do I get? All booths will have one 6ft. and one 8ft. long table, per single booth reserved. If you reserved a double booth, you would just double your tables. Vendors may bring one hanging rack per booth for display of items. Single booths will be L shaped and double booths will be U shaped.
  • Can I bring an extra table? To comply with COVID-19 recommendations for proper distancing of patrons, ABSOLUTELY NO tables or shelving units of any kind or size will be permitted. Walkways must be clear of merchandise; therefore, all items must fit within your booth space.
  • Do the items I sell have to be used? Items for sale must be 75% child-related and resale. Clothing, baby gear, children’s furniture, maternity clothing, toys, books, etc. are the type of items to be sold. Please do not bring non-children items. We appreciate your cooperation. You will be asked to leave without a refund if it is determined that you are not complying with these rules. (Marketplace vendors are excluded from this guidance.)
  • If I can't attend the event after I have registered, can I get my money back? Vendor booths are non-refundable.
