Q: What does it cost to rent a space within the Marketplace?
A: Vendors will have a space approximately 8 x 8 feet in the Marketplace. The vendor space is priced at $95 and a $25 merchandise donation for an 8×8 booth or an 8 foot table space(space behind table varies) – one 8 foot table is included, additional tables are an additional fee. There are a number of different options available to vendors for tables each vendor getting a table will also receive two chairs.
Due to the limited space, Vendors will be limited to one 8 x 8 space or one table space, some exceptions may be made. All vendors will also receive a business size ad in our program book and a link on our website. A Larger ad may be purchased if a vendor so desires at a discount rate.

Q: What are “Keycon Bucks”
A: We will be doing Prize draws for “Keycon Bucks” that we ask all vendors to honour (You will be reimbursed). We are doing this to help encourage more customers in the Marketplace. In order to be entered to win Keycon Bucks a person must make a purchase at a vendors table. For every $10 dollars they spend they will receive a ballot for the draw, to be handed out by the vendor. Draws will take place at several points throughout the weekend. Signs will be posted.
