Ahead you will find the Waitlist Application Form for the Touch of Vermont Holiday Gift Market 2019, which takes place at Montpelier City Hall Auditorium on Saturday, December 14, 2019.
The Holiday Gift Market will provide an opportunity for Vermont business owners to sell their products and services, to barter gifts and goods with each other and this year we are excited to partner again with Good Beginnings of Central Vermont (
http://www.goodbeginningscentralvt.org/).
Raffle Items & Grand Prizes
Fundraising for the Good Beginnings of Central Vermont will include the sale of raffle tickets for donated items that will be raffled off throughout the day. As part of this fundraising effort, all vendors are asked to donate an item of at least $35 in value for the raffle.
Bartering
Vendors are encouraged to barter with and purchase from each other. When we give each others' items as holiday gifts, we help each other out twice, both by the purchase and by exposing our loved ones to some of the fabulous items made and sold Vermont. Vendors are encouraged to trade with each other at any time during the Gift Market.
Set up/Agenda
Vendor set up for the Market will start at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 14, 2019. Vendors will be assigned arrival times to stagger the use of the single elevator. (A small number of vendors that need extended set-up time will load in between 3 and 6 p.m. on Friday December 13). The doors will open to the public on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m. Breakdown of your exhibit can begin no sooner than 4:00 p.m. The auditorium will close for the day at 6:00 p.m.
