I applied as a vendor and haven't heard back, who can I contact?
First, check your spam/junk folder sometimes it sneaks in there.
Next, add Downtownmonthlymarket@gmail.com to your address book so it doesn't filter to the wrong folder in the future.
The volunteer-based committee meets twice a month to review vendors and discuss market matters. Initial emails for the season will come out about a month before the first market of the season so Fall applicants can expect an acceptance email by end of August. Spring applicants can expect an acceptance email at the end of December or early January. Young entrepreneurs will hear in late May or early June.
Still have a question? Simply email downtownmonthlymarket@gmail.com with your contact name and business name and one of our volunteers will get back to you.
