1 Backroads Vintage Market At merson Creek VNDO APPLCAON & AGMN Summer Series hank you for your interest in participating as a vendor at the Backroads Vintage Market. We love bringing people together who have an eye for great vintage-style pieces and want to share their unique finds with others! We envision vibrant markets filled with antique, industrial, rustic, upcycled, handmade, and seasonal items for all to enjoy and buy. Participating vendors will be chosen based on how well they fit within the parameters of our vintage market vision, and our Summer Series themes. We will consider product variety, originality, quality and display. We will approve a limited number of any one type of vendor and product to reduce competition and provide the largest selection of merchandise to attendees. Vendors may be approved for more than one market date provided the vendor fits the particular theme and/or there is sufficient space available. Past participation in our markets does not guarantee acceptance for future markets n the first stage of our approval process, we re going to limit vendors seeking an indoor spot to participating in three of the five markets. f space remains available, we will offer remaining spaces to those vendors who would like to participate in more than three markets. We re also going to maintain an emergency list if you haven t been accepted for a particular market, but could be ready to pack up and join us at the very last minute, please let us know. Last-minute openings do occur! For outdoor spots, there is no limitation on the number of markets a vendor may participate in. Photos of your booths at other shows or antique malls (or a display made specifically for this application) are suggested with your vendor application unless we are already familiar with your work. Vendors may share booth space but pictures and contact information must be disclosed for all participants.
