Postdated checks will not be accepted, and
there is a $25.00 fee for returned checks. No credit cards are

Due to spacing of similar booths, vendors
(both for profit and nonprofit) will be limited so that there
will be an equal number of each type of vendor per
street. Special requirements and locations will be considered,
but exact locations and/or previous year location
IS NOT
guaranteed.
Jewelry
- A
limited number of
jewelry vendors will be accepted. Vendors will be accepted on
the basis of their product description and
photographs submitted, not on
a first come basis.
A limited number of any "same" vendors will be
accepted (i.e. candles, sunglasses, etc.). Applications
accepted on a first come-first-serve basis.
A limited number of nonprofit organizations will be
accepted based on space and the number of similar entries.
Food vendors will not be accepted on a first
come first serve basis. Due to high competition for food
vendor spaces, they are selected based on their menu, prices
and appearance of booth. The application deadline for food
vendors is March 1. 2011.
Food vendors are required to follow all Moore
County Health Department requirements. Food vendors that are
accepted for the festival will have to complete a Moore County
