Little Chute 2018 Village Market Vendors, We would like to thank you for selecting the Little Chute Village Market last year and we hope you had a prosperous rest of your 2017. Our hope is that you are considering being a part of Little Chute s Village Market again this year. We will be running it very much the same as last year with only a few minor changes. Our Market Manager used both vendor and client feedback to enhance everyone s experience for this year s market. One great change is there will be more advertising to ensure the highest level of attendance. The Village Market will again be held on the Windmill Plaza located between Village Hall and the Windmill in Little Chute. The location is located right on WI 96 that runs through downtown Little Chute. The WI DOT reports 8700 cars pass by on WI 96 on a daily basis! They also report that another 7900 cars drive by on Madison Street just to the West. The market will take place every Thursday, 2:00 6:00 pm (this is a change from last year s hours) downtown at the Plaza next to the famous windmill. The market will consist of local farmers, live music, crafters and local artists to offer an array of goods. The market will begin June 14 th and continue through September 13 th. This is a reduction of weeks from last year. We consciously scheduled our market so as to not interfere with surrounding markets, and based off last year s attendance times and dates we felt moving it to earlier and having a shorter season makes the most sense. We are offering vendors a daily fee of $10.00 and our seasonal fee will be $60.00. Our hope with having larger fees this year is to have more of a commitment from vendors on attendance at the market. If you are interested in being a part of the market this year, please fill out an application and submit it via email or paper mail to Little Chute s Parks and Rec department, 108 W. Main St. Little Chute, WI 54140. If you are unable to attend, please share this with peers and family members.

Main St., Little Chute, WI, 54140. Sincerely, Adam Breest (920) 423-3868 adam@littlechutewi.org Laurie Decker (920) 423-3852 laurie@littlechutewi.org
