Coordinating the placement of festival vendors and events are Logistics Co-chairs Polly Etta Sunda, Axley & Rode, LLP, and Teresa Darby, Glass Castles Stained Glass Studio & Gifts, along with support from Nacogdoches County Chamber staff member Sherry Banks.
“Each year the Texas Blueberry Festival attracts unique and fun vendors displaying great gifts and handmade products to the 19,000-plus attendees of all ages we expect to be at the tastiest festival in Texas,” Sunda said.
Exhibiting space is available along the brick streets and in Festival Park. The vendor booth is marked in 10′ x 10′ sections with the following cost:
· $250 for food vendors.
· Non food vendor booths are $150.
· Non-profit, non food vendors are also welcome for a reduced rate of $125 per space.
“Food vendors can be found around the square and throughout the festival serving up tasty treats and savory eats,” Sunda said. “We have wonderful vendors who always bring something spectacular.”
The festival will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 and vendors must submit applications no later than May 8. If vendors have a location preference, applications must be in by March 27, and March 20 will be the last date to request the same booth space if the business exhibited in 2014.
“Space is limited,” Sunda said. “If you are interested in promoting your business at the Texas Blueberry Festival, do not wait to apply!”
The vendor application is now available on TexasBlueberryFestival.com as well as on the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce web site, nacogdoches.org in Forms.
