We will have a mandatory vendor meeting on November 2, 2022, from 6 - 8 pm. The meeting will be held at the Switchyard Pavilion to review market logistics and policy, and select booth spaces. Accepted vendors who do not attend will not be able to select a booth space. Market Management will place them in an available space.
