Last updated:
1/6/2012

We have plenty of room for over 180 vendors in 10 x 10 spaces IN THE GRASS,

AS OF March 1ST EARLY BIRD PRICES ARE NO LONGER IN EFFECT

NO DISCOUNTS FOR VENDORS NOT SETTING UP THE FULL 10 DAYS
YOU WILL BE CHARGED $25.00 PER DAY.

EACH 10 X 10 SPACE FOR 10 DAYS after February 28th is $150.00
if paid in full on or before February 28th save $50 per 10 x 10 rented,
OR if you reserve 3 or more you get a 10% discount.

We allow all home party dealers to attend. If there are 2 or more of the same dealers it is fine with us
but we will not put you on the same row. If you want exclusive rights we do not offer that & will not
sign documents stating that. We allow all home party dealers to attend. If you want to combine your
dealers that is also fine with us. If you want exclusive rights then we ask that you find another place
to set-up as we feel we should not stop dealers from participating.
 
We do not allow "banana box" vendors to come in and set up boxes on tarps on the ground as this in
our opinion makes our festival look cheap.
