Waiting List: Interested in becoming a vendor? Submit an application after February 1. You will be placed on our waiting list. Vendors already on the waiting list must re-confirm their interest each year by submitting an application form. We have a number of potential vendors in each product category. We reserve the right to manage the waiting list so as to maintain our current product mix and limit competition in any product category. Priority is given to vendors from the East/West Kootenays and Boundary regions. You will be notified if space becomes available, and payment will be accepted at that time.

***Note that priority is given to vendors from the East/West Kootenay and Boundary Regions.***

Plenty of helpful advice and answers to frequently asked questions are also available on our Vendor Tips & FAQ page.
