Hello Vendors! 

Welcome back to our returning vendors and welcome new vendors to the Nation Ford Performing Art Company’s 11th annual Holiday Bazaar! We are excited to introduce a few improvements to the registration process and “day-of” plans based on feedback and observations from last year. Be sure to read the email and form in its entirety.

When: Saturday, November 11, 2023 from 10 am to 3 pm. Arrival and check in is at 8:00 am on the day of the event. Falcon Red badge holders may enter and begin set up at 7:30 if desired (see registration form for optional Falcon Red badge holder details). Arrival, parking, check in and set up information will be sent 2-3 weeks before the event.

RETURNING VENDORS
Priority Registration for returning vendors is open July 18, 2023 to August 31st, 2023.
If you are accepted as a vendor an invoice will be emailed to you using our online payment option from Square. The email will come from NFHS Theatre Booster Club.

NEW VENDORS
Returning vendors receive priority registration. Registration for new vendors will be considered starting September 1st. Please do not send payment until we send an email confirmation that there is space for your business. If you are accepted as a vendor an invoice will be emailed to you using our online payment option from Square.  The email will come from NFHS Theatre Booster Club.

Space is limited - register early!

Why: The Holiday Bazaar is the number one fundraiser for the Performing Arts Company Booster Club. We use our funds to buy costumes, equipment, as well as fees and other costs as needed. For example, in the 2022-23 school year we were able to purchase ten new character microphones and a mist machine. You are helping support this wonderful program for the students of Nation Ford High School and we sincerely appreciate it!

Please read the following information carefully, as the application has changed.

How: We have streamlined our registration responses to help you choose the ideal package for your business/organization. Based on feedback from last year’s event, we’ve improved our add on options.

If you would like Performing Arts student volunteers to assist you to unload and reload your booth, select that option from our add on menu. You will be given a lanyard to wear on arrival so the students know what help to provide. Only vendors with a lanyard will receive unloading and loading help. By registering ahead of time for this service, we can schedule the correct number of student volunteers. 

Who:  We will be registering a wide variety of small businesses and vendors. Businesses under a brand name (e.g., Tupperware) will be limited to one vendor per type. For businesses of home crafted items such as holiday crafts, earrings, gifts, baking etc. we will allow registration of multiple vendors and we will do our best to space similar vendors a part throughout the Bazaar floor. Although the categories are the same the products are often quite different, and a greater selection motivates shoppers to come and explore and shop.

Raffle: We request again this year that you donate a small item for our raffle. It only needs to be a minimum of $5 in value, and selling raffle tickets is an excellent fundraiser for the Performing Arts Co. It’s also a great way to send your information home with someone who wants it! Each registration also includes a raffle ticket for you to use as well. 

In addition to our fabulous vendors, we provide FREE pictures with Santa, crafts for kids, help unloading/reloading your booth (extra charge), table rentals (extra charge), holiday music throughout, amazing raffle table, and delicious food available from our food truck vendors, such as fresh coffee at the entrance.  It's going to be a great event!!
