In mid-August as many as 18,000 festival-goers will plan on enjoying a weekend of art, crafts, entertainment and gourmet food in Mount Gretna, PA. Where is Mt. Gretna, PA?
Every year, during the third weekend of August, this community of some 700 homes and cottages suddenly springs to life, welcoming 265 artists chosen through juried competition and 20,000 visitors who-by their presence acknowledge the role that art plays in their homes, hearts, and lives.
And every year, as thousands of art show patrons return,many others discover Mount Gretna for the first time. For everyone who comes, it is a return to an earlier era: a time when neighbors greeted neighbors from their front porches, when going for ice cream meant going for a stroll rather than getting into an automobile, and when life itself pulsed at a rocking chair pace.
Very nice things were said about Mt. Gretna at ArtFairInsiders.com by this year's participants, including, "I will certainly sign up for the Mt. Gretna, PA show again."

The State of New York is hardly better...they are after you I think even if you are dead.
I called the PA tax people and they had me apply for a special event certificate. I just listed the shows that I might be doing.
This may well be a great show, but if you apply, do not apply for a PA sales and use tax certificate before submitting your application as per their instructions. If you are not juried in, you will have to send in $0 sales certifications every quarter until you cancel your certificate, and even if you cancel after you find out you were not accepted, you will have to file $0 returns for each quarter since you applied for the certificate.
