Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival

Vendors: The Fantastic Fiber Mini Mall

September 26 - 28, 2008

There's no denying we have one of the greatest group of fiber vendors of any festival! And the Great Lakes region is full of fiber businesses of all descriptions. See some of them in our paid advertising section.

Happy Shoppers in 2007

If you'd like to become a vendor, see our Vendor Booth Application and Vendor Rules.

You can also download our new tri-fold brochure (outside pageand inside page), and flyer to hand out at other festivals or display in your stores.

Vendors, please remember two members of your business are invited to the Vendor Dinner on the Saturday of the festival, and your vendor fee now automatically includes a membership in the festival. If you pay at or after the festival for your 2009 booth, your membership will cover through the end of the following year.

And this year we have a special presentation for vendors, after the vendor dinner, entitled Loss Prevention: A Program of Awareness and Action, Presented by Carol Larsen of River’s Edge Weaving Studio.

This one and a half hour presentation includes: physical theft of merchandise and funds, displays, pricing, inventory management, intellectual theft, and employee theft.

Carol has worked in retail management for over 30 years at both the corporate and sole proprietor levels. Through specialized training and her retail experiences she brings to the small business owners (you – the vendors) a short interactive program on how to prevent loss and increase your profitability.

All vendors, their employees, and festival staff are welcome to participate in this program following Saturday night’s vendor dinner.

If you'd like to become a vendor, contact the Vendor Chair, Jeanie Prentice, jmprentice@m33access.com, to see if there's space. Then you can either pull out, fill in, and mail the vendor registration page in the booklet; or, print the vendor form on this website, and mail it in with your payment.
