Title: artisans/artists/merchants still needed, but our list is growing rapidly
Post by: rengypsy on June 19, 2009, 09:37:33 PM
check out our current list of vendors on the website (just posted tonite)

see our post on Merchant News in this forum's main listings for the types we are still desperately in need of...

we want a 100+ vendors filling our forest when the gates are flung open in late february 2010.

spread the word.

16 new apps received this week alone.  that's great.

it is paramount we get the word out to potential vendors...thus, i need the renaissancefestival.com community to assist.  if you know of great vendors, especially in the areas listed below, contact them for Sherwood, ask them to check out the website and see if they would be interested in participating as an artisan, artist, merchant...

areas we really need vendors in are as follows:

hats
shoes
art
musical instruments
pewter
sculpture
incense
herbs
pagan/occult/mystical
christian/religious artifacts of the times
broom making
weaving
crystals
gypsy wares
copper pots and pans sold from a wagon
flower/rose vendor
wood carvings
copper roses, sculpture
sky chairs
chimes
puppets/dolls
glass items and glass blower

a couple more jewelers
one or two more clothiers
possibly another potter--one dropped yesterday

help us reach the 100 mark for vendors!!!
please.
thanks,
rengypsy

I may have missed an important notice (working 11 hours a day and keeping up with 6 cats and a hyperactive wife planning her mother's wedding can come pretty close to mimicking senility, I swear), but I couldn't find the current list of merchants. Have some folks who were interested, but weren't sure what categories were still open and which were saturated. I figured other folks may be curious, is there another section of the site where it's listed?
