This letter is an invitation to apply for the Farm and Artisan Spring Fair, sponsored by the Duvall Farmers Market, which is a Juried event. We will accept applications from those vendors who hand craft the items that they wish to sell. We also will be accepting applications of antique dealers with quality products, originality, good value and a flair for booth display. We will not be accepting applications from those who are Distributors of overseas items, Commercial resellers or sales of collections, such as retired or new beanie babies, toys or the like. Please note that first priority will be given to those vendors who hand-craft their goods. The primary goal of the Duvall Farmers Market is to encourage and support our local agricultural community and our local artisans (those who work with their own hands) to gather together in one place where their handiwork and items may be sold. The Duvall Farmers Market is a proud member of the Washington State Farmers Market Association, Cascade Harvest Coalition and Puget Sound Fresh. Additionally, we are looking for food vendors that might want to setup outside of the building. For additional information for food vendors please contact Carolyn Willett.
We will be holding an hourly raffle of items donated by the vendors to support the Duvall Farmer’s Market. Donations can be turned in during setup on Saturday morning. Someone will also stop by the booths during setup to pick up donations as well. We appreciate your support!
Vendor setup is on Saturday, March 24th, 2012 between 7:00 am and 8:45 am. All Vendors must be ready for sales by 9:00 am when the doors are opened. All Vendors are required to stay set up until the market cow bell is rung at close of day. No vendor will be allowed to tear down early, even if you sell out. Booths must stay set up until Saturday at 4:00 pm or until the final customer has vacated the room, due to safety. Vendor will be responsible for bringing their own chairs, stool, tables, display racks and table coverings. We encourage each Vendor to decorate their space as this is a spring event, however, please note that open flame candles will not be permitted.
