Vendor Application

Priority of acceptance to the SVFF (and space assignment) is given to 2022 Returning Vendors, provided applications are received within the listed deadlines. Applicants, including Returning Vendors who did not participate in 2022, will be juried by the SVFF Board prior to acceptance. Photos MUST be submitted of a representation of the goods you plan to sell. Ideally, a photo of your booth display from another festival would be included. Acceptance will mainly be dependent on space available and diversity of products offered compared to existing vendors. Vendors must sell products that support the fiber arts. Please also tell us what other shows you plan to attend as a vendor, and booth location, if known. New Approved Vendors will likely be placed in outdoor, uncovered spaces. Please do not apply to the festival if you are not prepared to bring/rent a tent for your space. In some cases, we can place you in a covered barn/pavilion. Deadlines:

• Returning 2022 Vendors application deadline to reserve same spot as 2022: 1/15/23
• Application closes: 7/31/23 (may remain open for food vendors, or as space allows for new fiber arts vendors)
• 2023 Vendors selected (barring last minute vendor emergencies and additional food vendors): 8/15/23
• Deadline to pay invoices: 14 days from your invoice - please let us know if you intend to mail a check or would like to pay with a credit card over the phone - we prefer you click on the link in your invoice and pay! If 14 days is a problem, please let us know - we are very understanding, as long as you communicate with us.

Vendors who took over cancelled spaces have right of first refusal for those spaces, if not taken back. Vendors who took over cancelled spaces in 2022 who do not get to keep those spaces are at the top of the waiting list for those types of spaces in 2023. This is called the First Priority Scenario.
 
**Returning Vendors who request a new space - these waitlists are first-come, first-served with some limitations, so please do not wait to apply! We note the date and time of your application.
Second Priority Scenario - waitlist to a different area:
To go outdoors - expected to be able to do this in most, if not all cases.
To go to a covered barn/pavilion - this can often happen.
To go indoors - rare, but it does happen! These would likely only be assigned as single space.
 
Third Priority Scenario - waitlist to expand current spaces:
Outdoors - expected to be able to do this in most, if not all cases.
Covered barn/pavilion - this can often happen, but possibly in a different location/barn/pavilion.
Indoor spaces - this is VERY RARE.

Come celebrate the many facets of fiber the last full weekend of September. The festival is filled with opportunities and events focusing on all aspects of fiber and more! Classes on many different ways to use fiber will be offered. We will also have demonstrations, competitions, festival memorabilia, fleeces for sale, and more. Our vendors offer yarns, various raw and finished fibers, the animals they come from, buttons to spinning and weaving equipment, rugs and purses to hats and sweaters, jewelry, art, pottery, and many other lovely items!
