Vendor Registration
I am pleased to have all of you participate in my next event. This event is Saturday March 28th, 2026 from 10:00 to 3:00 at the Monticello Middle School in Monticello, MN.
This is an indoor event. There are tables available for rent as well as spaces available with access to electricity.
Load in times will start at between 8:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. or earlier and you will be notified closer to the event what your actual loading time is via the special vendor Facebook group.
Gigi-ology Events has been doing events since 2015. Please follow the page on Facebook or reach out to me directly to get an invite to my vendor group on facebook to see future events. Many of these events are at venues that the organizer has done before and some are new venues. These are Standalone pop up shop sales. Advertising is done through targeted Facebook ads. The event will be shared in 200 Facebook groups. Facebook reels, Instagram and tiktok videos. An event on next door. Also all event, Eventbrite and the St Paul pioneer press event page and Star Tribune have been page. I also advertise through social indoor. There will also be signage. Some shows will have billboard advertising, some shows will have a big black neon sign, and other shows will have multiple pink signs at cross streets.
The organizer does not guarantee attendance. All vendors are required to assist with advertising by sharing the event on their Facebook page. Spreading the word to their family and friends. And also upon request providing pictures or video for the organizer to compile into advertising videos.
For each of my shows I set up a special Facebook group. Upon registration being completed including payment, I will contact you with an invite to that group. Please join that group as soon as you receive the invite as there will be other important information posted there. Please be sure once you have been accepted to the group that you turn on your notifications and check the group often. In the week or so leading up to the event there will be numerous questions and instructions posted there that you will need to be aware of.
The show starts at 10:00 and runs till 3:00. Our last customers deserve the same experience as our first and as such I require that you do not start to pack anything up until after 3:00.
Please secure all fragile items and cash. The Monticello Middle School and the organizer Dawn, Gigi-ology Events are not responsible for loss or stolen items or broken items.
Handmade items are always welcome! There will be additional charges for items that are not handmade, in effect giving the handmade Crafters a discount. There will be one MLM representative per company. If you represent an MLM there will be a $15 increase in the price of the booth. Resellers include anything that has been purchased for resale that you have not made with your own hands. I prefer to have handmade items but on a case-by-case basis resellers may be allowed. However, there will be a increase of $25 for resellers.
If your company would like to be a sponsor of the event there is a flat $250 fee, which includes a booth space and inclusion of your logo in the advertising. Please forward the logo.
Cottage food licenses are required for any food items or beverage items.
Please keep this in mind. You may be asked for photos of your items . And you may be asked to leave some items at home if I am totally full for that item.
Also an st19 form is required. Further instructions will be posted in the Facebook group on how to fill this out.
