Vending...

As of this afternoon, I'm now the Vendor Coordinator for Barataria Faire, scheduled for August 7 & 8 in Springfield, Missouri.

We have fabulous nationally-known entertainment booked and an amazing cast, working on an Pirate and Faerie storyline with totally improvised action through the weekennd.

Now looking for equally fabulous vendors to join the team. The site is downtown Springfield with a great track record for attendance and sales figures at events. We've got a great management team, top-notch marketing and we're gearing up for a fabulous festival!

I've Vendor packets ready to send out to anyone who is interested. This *is* a juried event so we're overseeing the merchandise to make sure it is equally top-notch.

Come join us!

Oh wow! Congrats!

I know you'll do a great job and get us some fantastic vendors.

I truthfully didn't really want the job but it HAS to be done, so I'm going to do it.

[softpaw.livejournal.com]

yes. I am well aware of what led to it. IT really needs to be done. Thank you for taking it.

Yep, just one weekend, which I think is a smart way to begin. It's downtown Springfield so we'll be on concrete and it'll be hot but should be a lot of fun.

I'll be playing Grace O'Malley...a real departure for me.

Can you send me one or email? Thought this would be a good place to get started...:)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I'll add you to my spreadsheet and sent you the vendor letter.

I'll drop Wayne an email and see if he'd be interested. One weekend faires have been tough for them to do in the past, but I'll see what he thinks!

That would be awesome! The site has a great track record for attendance and sales. And pop-ups are legal for the faire, they'd just need to be decorated, which you guys would do anyway.

yowsa, good luck! I used to be vendor chair for the Western Ma Highland Games, run by friends of mine. It wore me out. (And sometimes the vendors did too! What a bunch of in-fighting, petty old bagpipes some of them were. Though admittedly the rest were awesome and professional: they taught me a lot.)

I know I'll learn a lot; hell, it's the only job I haven't ever done at a faire, except serve beer.

Congratulations!! I know you will do a fabulous job with the coordination activities!

Congrats on the new job and, having done a similar one for waaay to many SCA events over the years, condolences :).

Yeah, I think condolences may be in order but SOMEthing had to be done and nothing was, so...
