At the close of each fair, those vendors are given the opportunity to submit a deposit and return interest form to the fair office. Those that submit those will receive an application in December/January to fill out and return by May 1st to be guaranteed a spot and their location or request of a new location. New exhibitors can apply at anytime but will not be reviewed until May 10th after placements are made for returning, of which then you would get notified if your application was accepted.
