New Hamilton Main Street Marketplace

I got an email from a guy named Derek Greene, the Market Manager for the New Hamilton Main Street Marketplace Farmers Market. He's looking for Artisan Vendors for the market. The Marketplace will be held on Thursday evenings May 22nd - October 23 from 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm in Armstead Park on the corner of Main and D Streets in Hamilton, Ohio.

You can email him at ThinkingGreene@hotmail.com or call him at (513) 664-6884 to get the application form or get any questions answered.

Here's what he told me:
Anyone interested simply needs to fill out the application and then send it in. There is a small fee: $7 a day. There is also an application fee: $14, but this will only be kept if applications are accepted and will be applied towards fees for 2 days. Essentially this is just to make sure that vendors will come to at least 2 Markets.

Unlike Farm Vendors, I am not trying to get Artisans to comitt to coming every Thursday during the Market Season. I would like for Artisans to pick out several dates over the course of the season that they would like to sell. Developing a good rotation would be nice, with return vists for customers who would like to buy again. I need the most during May as this is the premier month and we need to have full Markets to build up a strong customer base. I have space for around 10 Artisan Vendors at every Market. I would like to have at least 5 at every Market and might be able to get a few more than 10 if there is interest on a particular date.

I would be very interested in setting up a few times a year.

Thanks.
