Yes, these forms may look like a lot of information and quite frankly, they are a bit lengthy. We like everyone to play and work nicely with one another, though, and we’re very proud –and very supportive–of our Market Family. Many of us have vended together for many years and the new Vendors who join us are welcomed and embraced as family, too.
Thank you for working with us and working through the process.
The Application:
The Vendor application is good for all of our Markets. It may be accessed and downloaded HERE
**PLEASE NOTE: Applications are NOT accepted at the Markets so please do not just show up with a printed copy. Likewise, we do not accept ‘drop-in’ Vendors.
We are, however, a family and we do support community and causes. All races, ages, genders, and religious backgrounds are welcome.
We do our best to maintain a fair and balanced Market in each of our locations. This can be a challenge. Thus, our Vending Categories are specific and we only accept a certain number of Vendors in each Category for each Market.
PLEASE NOTE: There is an Application fee of $20.00. Please note that this fee must be paid in order for your Application to be reviewed.

If a Vendor needs to cancel their space reservation, they must email the Market Manager by Wednesday before the Sunday they are scheduled for.

The Market operates as a business entity with extensive monetary and legal obligations and is not funded by outside factions. All accounting is due from us the week before a given market day.
