Strawberry Festival --Show Opportunity --UCC Southbury

Jennifer Holquin, organizer of the UCC Strawberry Festival, welcomes POP artists and other vendors to participate:

Hello!

It is that time of the year when we begin to seek vendors for our 38th annual Strawberry Festival at United Church of Christ, Southbury.  The event is set for Sunday, June 8th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. (yes, we listened and extended the hours!)

We attract approximately 500 people with our delicious strawberry desserts, grilled food, children’s activities, live music, bouncy-house and plenty of diverse vendors.  The UCC lawn is perfectly suited for this incredible outdoor event as it is very large, flat, partially shaded, and on Main Street in Southbury.

You will get an abundance of advertising in all the local papers leading up to June 8th, along with lawn signs and flyers posted in the area.  

The price is $45.00 for a 10' x 12' space, $65 for a 10' x 18' space.  Returning vendors get a free upgrade to 10' x 14'!! 

If you need to rent tables, they are $10 per 6' table.  Food permits are the responsibility of the vendor.  Electricity will not be available.

If you would like to join us on June 8th, please fill out the attached registration form to guarantee your space, and email it back to me.

We have made changes to make this year's event better than ever!  Be sure to tell your followers, friends, and families that there is no admission fee, so come by and enjoy this kick-off-to-summer party!

I hope to see you there!

Best Regards,

Jennifer Holguin
