How to Apply for a Vendor Booth
To apply, log in to your Community Pass account (or create an account) and select “Click Here to Register” which will then prompt you to select a catalog. You will want to select the Tourism & Economic Development catalog. It will then ask you to verify your account information. If all is correct, select continue.

Please click “Add to Waitlist” for each date you’d like to sign up for. It will ask you to select the person that you’re signing up for the event. If you have multiple people listed in your family, please only select yourself unless you’re trying to apply for multiple booths. For every person you select we receive another application.
Everyone is automatically waitlisted in order to review the applications before charging fees. Once you’ve selected all the dates, scroll to the top of the page and select the orange “Checkout” button. This will bring you to a registration form, which you will need to fill out so that we know more about what you’re hoping to sell at the event. If you do not have a website or social media account, you will need to email photos of your products to [email protected]. After selecting continue, you will be taken to a policies and agreements page which you must review and sign. The policies contained are a liability release, photo release, and cancellation policy acknowledgement. Once you select continue on this page you will be taken to a review and complete transaction page. Fees are not assessed until you are released from the waitlist, at which point it is $25 per event. By selecting “Complete Transaction” you will have completed your application to the event(s).
Applications will be reviewed on a first come, first served basis. We will contact you by May 3 if you have been selected to be a vendor for the event(s). If applying past May 3, we will contact you within 2 weeks of submitting your application. If you are released from the waitlist, you will receive an email from Community Pass to complete your registration and pay the fee.
