Student Group & Club Vendor Policy

Cherokee Trail student clubs and organizations are invited to participate in the CT Craft Fair! This is a great opportunity to raise funds for your club’s activities or to support a nonprofit cause you care about, while also being part of our school community event.

Booth Space

• CT student clubs may reserve one 5’ x 10’ booth space at no charge.

• To receive the free booth code, the club’s advisor or student leader must email the VP of Fundraising before registering.

Fundraising Purpose

• Clubs may sell items to raise money for their own club or to benefit a nonprofit organization that the club supports.

• All sales and activities must be school-approved and align with district and PTCO guidelines.

Tax & Legal Rules

• Colorado law provides certain sales tax exemptions for school clubs when sales benefit the school or a student organization.

• To qualify for this exemption, the following conditions must be met:

  • The club must be a recognized CT student club, class, or organization.

  • All proceeds (after covering actual costs) must go back to the club or to a nonprofit that the school has approved.

  • Clubs should keep records of their costs and sales for transparency.

• While most school-based sales are exempt from state sales tax, some city or county taxes may still apply. If unsure, clubs should confirm with the VP of Fundraising.

Food Sales

• If selling food, the club must follow Colorado’s food safety regulations.

  • Pre-packaged foods may be covered under the Colorado Cottage Foods Act (with proper labeling).

  • Prepared foods may require additional approvals or licensing.

• All food items must be clearly labeled and handled safely.

General Guidelines

• All student clubs must follow the same rules and deadlines as other vendors.

• Products must be appropriate for a school event and reflect the values of our CT community.

• Clubs are encouraged to decorate their booths and engage with shoppers to highlight their cause!
