7. DO I HAVE TO CARRY ANYTHING I PURCHASE AROUND WITH ME ALL NIGHT? No way, you need your hands free to eat and drink and shop more! Here is how it works:
• You choose an item that you want to purchase from an artist. The artist will fill out an invoice, keep one part and give you the other two copies. • You CANNOT physically get the item until you pay for it at the checkout table. • Some people wait and pay for all of their purchases at one time so they only have to go through checkout once. • Once you pay, you will receive a copy of a receipt marked paid. It is then up to you to pick up your items from the artist at any time during the evening. • This also applies to purchases at the WALL OF WINE.
