FAQ's:
I have a retail business. Can I participate?
MOST vendors MUST be makers (artisan crafts, food, and gifts) This IS NOT a retail sales event. If available we will offer last minute spots for local  (Newton, Rockdale, Walton, Henry Counties) retail small businesses to participate in a case by case basis. If you have a retail business and are interested please apply and you will be placed on a waiting list.
 
How are vendors selected?
This event is a JURIED event.
We have a selection committee for exhibitors, and require that you submit photos of your work or products. The selection committee (the jury) reviews all applications before choosing exhibitors for the event. We do this to ensure that our event is a quality community event and that all participants can have confidence that they will be highlighted in their craft or business with minimal conflict in product selection from other vendors. Our heart is to make sure that we have a wide variety of offerings for the mutual benefit of our exhibitors and guests.
