Vendor Village
This year, we are continuing with a "Vendor Village" to enhance the public’s and the Extravaganza exhibitors’ shopping pleasure. The vendors will be primarily located in the area near the food concession. We hope that having the vendors together will increase business for all. We are allocating twenty 10' X 10' spaces for vendors; signup will be on a first-come, first-served basis when registration opens to the general public on August 29. Each vendor is limited to a maximum of 3 spaces (maximum area 10’ X 30’). Vendors that back up to another vendor will have pipe & drape between the two vendors.

Vendors that would like to sign up early may do a Diamond ($2,500), Ruby ($2,500), Platinum ($1,500) or Gold ($1,000) sponsorship; contact Cindy Cuykendall (Cuykendallfarms@aol.com) if you would like to be a sponsor. Registration for these sponsor levels will open on August 15 for both exhibitors and vendors. A Diamond or Ruby vendor sponsor will get 3 free vendors spaces; Platinum vendor sponsors will receive 2 free vendor spaces and Gold vendor sponsors will receive 1 free vendor space.

The 10' X 10' spaces are $300 per space and each vendor is asked to give a donation to our silent auction with a retail value of at least $50. Tables and chairs may also be rented at registration time. Shared electricity is provide for free at nearby poles; vendors should bring their own extension cords. Vendors who wish an electrical drop from the ceiling reserve for that during registration; cost is $20.

The Empire Marketing Committee is increasing its marketing effort to bring more public to the show this year, increasing traffic to the vendors. Also, each vendor will be allowed to have an insert to the exhibitors bag which is given to all 250+ farms in attendance at the show. This insert can be an 8 ½" X 11" sheet, a postcard, promotional gift like pens, etc. One vendor in the past gave a coupon for a free gift to each exhibiting farm. Insert materials must be received by Scott Young no later than October 17 and there should be enough for each bag – recommended number: 300).

Vendors may offer wholesale pricing to farms with wholesale accounts. ALL sales to the general public must be at retail price.

Arrival time will be Friday October 22 between 9:00AM and 7:00PM.
Departure time is Sunday October 24 after the show has ended. All items must be removed by 9:00PM on Sunday.
