THE RULES & OTHER FLOTSAM:

This TWO-DAY MARKET welcomes unique peddlers, entertainers, food trucks and more to join the fun in the spirit of shopping small and shopping local. We are so excited to invite you to apply, but here is the basic housekeeping flotsam just to ensure our show is the right fit for you.

THIS EVENT IS NON-REFUNDABLE whether inclement weather or acts of God require a reschedule or cancelation of the event, or should vendors cancel.

THIS IS A TWO-DAY, INDOOR, TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED MARKET. The Civic Center is fully covered with load-in locations on the building perimeter along with bathrooms, electricity hook-up and wifi accessibility. In the event of a sell-out, we will offer outdoor spaces at a slightly reduced rate. The outdoor spaces are on concrete; not grass or dirt.

THE SHOW BEGINS AT 9AM SHARP AND ENDS AT 5PM. Vendors MUST be in place, booths set and ready to peddle no later than 8:30am and vendors are not permitted to tear booths down prior to 5pm either day – no exceptions. Vendors are permitted to set up the evening before from 12pm – 10pm. The building will be secured after 10pm with no further access until 6am the following day.

Show host is not responsible for items left overnight, and we do not provide overnight security, but the doors to the Civic Center WILL be locked at 10pm and re-opened at 6am the following morning.

Vendors must bring their own trash cans for basic booth maintenance. We do provide large trash cans, but we do require booths to be cleaned and trash emptied into the larger bins prior to departure.

We do provide electricity and wifi access.

Vendors are permitted to leave trailers on property, but they must be parked at the back of the property during the show hours. We will provide a detailed map of your space along with parking directions both leading up to the event and on-site at day of registration.

Co-hosts CEO Marketing Group & CEO Society will share and promote this event through paid advertising and on social media. Canton Chamber of Commerce, City of Canton, Texas, First Monday Canton Trade Days & Canton Main Street Program will also be sharing this event for greater reach. We also give every vendor a post on our blog and on their own event page listing, and we do our best to tag our vendors for increased exposure as much as possible.

ALL show vendors who are paid in good faith will be listed on our event web site.

We will be charging an admission to the show with a portion of those proceeds benefiting a local charity (to be announced).

Booth sizes range from 10×10 to 10×12 and double booth spaces for our larger vendors.

Trailers are NOT PERMITTED in the venue, but the designated load-in/out areas will have flatbed trailers and light assistance by our team members as needed. We do not have the available staff to fully assist with load-in or load-out. The Civic Center has 2 load-in locations on opposite sides of the building, so that will assist with flow.

Pipe & Drape is available for an additional fee.

Happy Selling!
