Check out these FAQs.
What types of vendors are you looking for?
Our fairs have a mix of spiritual practitioners (readers, healers, etc.) and small businesses that sell witchy goods (crystals, jewelry, candles, etc.).
How can I participate in the Psychic Fair?
In order to be considered, you must fill out an application. Fairs happen every other month, and applications open separately for each event. You will receive an email from us indicating whether or not you have been accepted.
How are vendors selected?
We review applications on a first come, first served basis. Space at the lodge is limited, so there is a set number of tables we can accommodate. We strive to have as wide a variety of participants as possible, so certain types of vendor spots may fill up before others.
Why do I have to fill out an application? Can’t I just tell you I want to participate?
Applications ensure that we have the information we need from everyone and confirm that you are aware of our policies. They are required for liability reasons. They also make our lives as organizers easier by having everyone’s info in one place. If you do not complete an application, you will not be considered for participation–no exceptions.
How can I improve my chances of being selected?
We always announce on social media when applications are open. Watch for announcements, and try to apply as early as possible for the best chance at acceptance. Please fill out your application completely; if you do not provide any links or social media and we cannot vouch for your legitimacy, we reserve the right to decline your application.
How large are the spots?
Each vendor receives one 6-foot spot. Only one spot per vendor, please!
How do I pay for my spot?
Payment is accepted once your application has been approved. As this is an Elks-run event, payment is issued directly to them. They accept checks, Venmo, and Zelle. Once accepted, payment must be received no later than two weeks prior to the event. Otherwise we reserve the right to cancel your spot and provide it to someone on the waiting list.
Who runs the Psychic Fair?
Your event organizers are Jamie and Gretchen. We are the only people who will contact you regarding this event. The Psychic Fair is a fundraiser for Hackensack Elks Lodge 658. Space is provided by the Elks, and they have the final say in rules regarding setup, table locations, payment, etc. Jamie is the brains behind the organization. Gretchen is the owner of Anchors Aweigh Tarot and, while she helps organize the fairs, is not affiliated with the Elks. Please keep in mind that we offer these events as a community service and do not profit from them. We both work full-time jobs and, therefore, your patience is appreciated if we cannot get back to you right away.
How should I price my services and/or goods at the fair?
You set your own prices. There is no admission charge for this event, so please feel free to charge what you are comfortable with. You can accept whatever payment methods work best for you.
(For readers and healers) Is there a set way I should take appointments?
How you take appointments for services offered at the fair is entirely up to you. You can offer appointments, walk-ins, or a mix of both. Clients are responsible for contacting you directly to book your services; we do not provide booking support for you.
