2. A non-refundable 50% deposit of the total vendor space fees is due upon receipt of acceptance notification to hold your space, otherwise another vendor selling similar items may apply and pay, ultimately taking the space that was on temporary hold for you if we do not get a response within 10 days of acceptance.
