Vendor Types: It is our mission to provide a variety of vendors, including crafters, commercial product vendors, and service providers. Food booths will be reserved for our church’s affiliated and sponsored organizations, as this event serves as a fundraiser for these organizations. The food booths will be located outside in the church courtyard and will be held from 10:30 am–1:30 pm.

Application Fee: Applications are due by Saturday, March 8, 2024. A fee of $75 per space is required. More than one space may be requested. Reservations will not be accepted without the space fee. Each space measures approximately six feet by five feet. Each table measures approximately six feet by two and a half feet. Only two chairs will be allotted per table. One table and 2 chairs per space can be requested.

Vendors can bring their own tables/chairs provided they stay within their allotted space.
