Presenter Application Form

The 2017 Not So Simple Living Fair will be held July 28 – 30, 2017.

NOTE: July 23 – The schedule is complete. We could still squeeze in a one hour presentation on the topic of Wild Food and Wild Crafting on Sunday afternoon. If you have a workshop on another topic, don’t waste time filling out the form. Instead, please email us at info@notsosimple.info and tell us the topic of your workshop. We will put you on the sub list and call if there’s a cancellation. Thanks.

If you are interested in being a  presenter, please fill out the form below.

In order to keep the Not So Simple Living Fair very affordable for anyone who wants to learn about sustainable living skills, all of the organizers and presenters volunteer their time. The Fair provides presenters with free camping, $10 lunch tickets, a delicious potluck supper and dance Saturday night and a wonderful venue to teach their skills and meet other people who share their interests.

Please tell us a little about yourself, as it relates to your presentation, in the Bio section. Describe your workshop in the workshop section: What will participants expect to learn? What will you do? What will they do, if it’s hands on? Note, many of the most popular workshops involve the participants. Think about ways to make it interactive, if possible. Only workshops that align closely with our mission will be accepted.

 

If you were a presenter last year and would like us to use information you provided in 2016, enter “Use my 2016 info” in the appropriate field. If you want us to use the same photo, say so in the “Other” field.   Here is a link to the 2016 List of Presenters

 

Please read carefully: This form cannot be saved and finished later. If you need more time (or are presenting multiple workshops), please write your answers in a separate text document and copy and paste into the form. Fill out a separate form for each workshop.

All presenters will have a table in their teaching area. Do you want to have a "display" table during the Fair, as well as giving a workshop? This would be an area where you share information or items that would be of interest to fair-goers or it could be a space to do demonstrations. If you check yes, please indicate in "Other," below, which days you will be displaying and include other relevant information. (If you have items for sale, check No and fill out a vendor application.)
