Hey All, still have vendor space available, except for food. Food does fill up first. If you requested vendor form for food, you need to get those in, as we have you penciled in space, and if not received, may need to release to another vendor. Also, looking for kiddie vendors, our regular kiddie train and pony ride vendors have retired, said they were getting too old to set up and operate. Games, train, ponies, merry go round, whatever to make our kiddies happy during Festival. We’re getting closer and so looking forward to another great year! Text or message to 229-223-6178.

Hey All, time is sneaking up on us, we’re getting closer to big, fun, enjoyable, Day! To all requesting Vendors, please get your forms and fees in so that we know for sure you’re attending. We have you on a list, awaiting paperwork. If you’ve changed your mind and not planning on attending, please let us know so that we can take you off the list and offer space to another Vendor requesting space. We have cut off date set for November 13th on Vendors and that should give us time to get everything processed before Festival. This will also cut down on congestion at check-in the morning of festival. We are looking forward to another great year! Will update again as we get closer. 😁
