Below is the information from the producers of
Grandma Party Bazaar on how to apply to be a vendor in the 8th edition December 19, 2010. Direct all questions to them please.
Heya kiddos! What, you think we forgot about you? Don’t be silly. You know Grandma can’t go a whole year without seeing her little sweethearts. (Pssst… that’s you!) It’s just, you know, Granny’s getting a little old and well, some things just take a bit longer then they used to.
But no worries my dears, we’re here now. And you know what THAT means! It
means it’s time for another GRANDMA PARTY BAZAAR!!!!!! (yes! high-fives!)
The eighth episode of the GRANDMA PARTY BAZAAR will happen at the same place (Stardust Video and Coffee), same time (about 10am until we all simmer down and want to go home) on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19TH 2010!!
But, you know its not really a party without you, don’t you?
So let’s get down to it then, shall we? Things are going to be a little different this go-round, starting with the application. We will no longer be doing in-person, first-come, first to secure a booth space style to sign up. Instead, lets try this:
- You will need to submit you application via email to GMABAZAAR@GMAIL.COM
(**this is only for applications, we also have the email address gmaparty@gmail.com for general questions and the receipt of testaments to Granny’s awesomeness. Do not send your application to gmaparty@gmail.com.)
- There is a TWO WEEK window for submitting your application starting now
(yeah, like right now!) and closing on at midnight (EST) on November 10th.
- You will be notified of your acceptance by November 19th. Once you are
accepted, you will be prompted to pay for your booth through Paypal. Payment
is expected within 3 days of acceptance. Cost is sliding scale $25-50. The main objective is for the bazaar to remain inclusive and affordable, but we are a small operation with big needs (and big plans! keep your hearing aid in and your specs on!) ANYTHING you can give over the base amount will be appreciated and put to good use!
- If you are not accepted initially, we will put you on our waiting list in case
anyone we select accidentally left their wallet in their other pants and can they
pay us next week?
So, you in? Yeah? Radical. Check it out: (Application instructions and guidelines)
-
All vendors (for the most part, see below) MUST be selling handcrafted items.
This can be anything you want as long as you MAKE it. Or if your friends make it, that’s ok too.
Your old stuff (old clothes, books, movies, etc…) is NOT allowed UNLESS it has
been artistically altered. If you have old stuff that you are looking to get rid of
donate it to the rummage pile or have a yard sale.
Interactive booths are highly encouraged!!!!! At past bazaars this has included
the photo booth, songs while you wait, youtube video upload booth, tarot,
henna, massage…. And in the future could include awesome things like a kissing booth, art projects for kids, face painting, collaborative art, and who knows what else.
I want to make it very clear: non-handmade items are NOT welcome at the
bazaar. Not in any capacity at any booth. The only exception is vintage clothing, and even that will only be accepted in limited quantities.
Your application must be representative of what you intend to sell at your
booth. If you show up with non-handmade items, you will be asked to put them away.
Your application MUST include:
o your business name (or names if you are sharing a booth)
o your name (and the names of anyone else at your booth)
o a primary contact phone number
o a primary contact email address
o any links to your businesses web presence (website, etsy, etc…)
o a brief written description
o 3-5 images of what you will be selling/doing at your booth
o answer to the question: why do you want to be a part of Grandma Party
Bazaar?
o any additional cool secrets you want to tell us
-
That’s the main shebang. Stay tuned for more details and what-nots to come, but for now, go get started on your applications! Oh yeah, and like us on facebook and follow us on twitter!
