(There's an error on the rules form about when cookies should be turned in. They can be turned in anytime the library is open up till 9:30am Saturday, Dec. 6.) An ENTRY FORM will need to be completed and turned in at the library when turning in cookies. We can't wait to see what you come up with! A $50 prize will be awarded in each division!
Vendors may register Friday, Oct. 6 - Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025.
We are now accepting Craft Vendor Registrations. The registration form and waiver must be printed, completed and returned to City Hall with payment by Wednesday, November 29. Space assignments will be made as vendors arrive on Dec. 2. If there's another vendor you want to be next to you will need to arrive at the same time.
