Saturday, December 4th, 11 am to 3 pm, 2021
Highland Center for the Arts, Greensboro, VT
Rain date: Saturday, December 11th
Please note, the market will take place largely outside. December 11th has been set aside as a 'rain date' for inclement weather. A limited number of spaces have been set aside inside the building in the main gallery area for vendors who have delicate items, or are otherwise unable to vend outdoors.
Warmth
Along with the public warming fires outside, vendors will also have access to a warming room inside with hot drinks in case they need to pop in and warm up during the event.
Pandemic Safety
On the day of the event, vendors and visitors will be expected to follow all pandemic safety protocols. We will keep vendors updated closer to the date regarding any safety requirements or adjustments.
Tents
Tables and tents are not provided. Vendors must bring their own. Due the possibility of snow drift, having at least one tent side wall is also recommended.
Tent Weights
Vendors must weigh down their tent legs. Vendors are responsible for any injury or damage that could occur due to a flyaway tent. We require the standard American tent manufacturer recommendation of 40 lbs per tent leg. Many tents come with sand bags or other similar weights. Old animal feed sacks filled partway with sand are a great inexpensive alternative as long as they are lashed appropriately to the legs. You can ask a neighbor with chickens to save you a few. Stakes are not adequate due to frozen ground or fluffy snow.

Food
All vendors are welcome to bring grab-and-go food items to sell as part of the market (i.e. pastries, candy, loaves of bread, holiday cookies, veggies, jams, bottled cider to take home, dried tea, frozen meat, grocery items, and other delicious things that can be purchased and brought home). Vendors are also welcome to sell gift certificates.
However, we ask that vendors do not offer prepared food (i.e. things you'd purchase at a restaurant/cafe and sit down to eat, such as hot meals, soups, pizza, prepared drinks, etc). We can accept a small number of simple drinks for sale only. **the drink cap has now been reached for this year's market**
WonderArts Raffle Donation
Each vendor is requested to donate a product or gift certificate (suggested value between $10 - $40) for our raffle on the day of the Holiday Market. This is a great way for buyers to see and get excited about your products and frequently leads to increased sales!
