Table fees for the 2012 WEIO will be $150. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements to display and sell arts and crafts at the WEIO. The fee also includes table and two chairs for the 4 day event. There will be no partial leasing on a nightly basis; the applicant must pay for all four evenings of the event. Only 2 people are permitted at any time at each table regardless if the table is on a shared leased basis with others or not; only 2 passes are allowed for each registered space.

The Organizing Committee of WEIO or its representatives have the right to refuse any application whether or not a fee has been submitted; should an application be refused for any reason, the application, the leasing fee, and a reason for refusal will be given to the registrant. Transferring the "ownership" of the table may be permitted from one applicant to another dependent upon the permission of the Organizing Committee of the WEIO or its representative. Because of the limited space available, WEIO considers those applications received the earliest as "first come, first served" basis.
