Calling for Food Vendors and Artisans

Plans for this year's festival are well underway. Last year's results were very encouraging and we are hoping to build on that success again this year.

Everyone was pleased with the changes to Food Village in 2007; the food committee hopes to build on some of the changes that were put in place and provide a few new surprises as well. They are looking for food vendors for the village and applications are on line. Check out Forms and Information on the website for more information. The application deadline is April 15th and all of those who apply will be advised of our selections by May 1st.

We are always pleased to be able to welcome back popular vendors from year's past but at the same time we want to offer a full range of choices for our patrons and we welcome new proposals and applications. We will be giving priority consideration to those who offer wide selection and healthier choices. We are also looking for more vegetarian options and a more multicultural blend of cuisines. We encourage vendors who use local produce and local suppliers wherever possible.

The Artisan Village has also made a call for entry and their information can be found on the website as well. This committee does a great job year after year; our Artisan Village is known for high quality and selection. They are also hoping to offer some surprises for this year. They will welcome submissions until March 15th after which they will make their selections and advise everyone of the results. If you are thinking of applying, you can download the application form online or contact the office.
