Explanation of Rental Rates
Our business model is based on encouraging people to SHOP SMALL and SHOP LOCAL!
Our vendors are the direct descendants of the American retail pioneers that build this country one town at a time.
Outdoor shopping is the heart and soul of what we offer.
Online and big box chain stores dominate the landscape today, but there is nothing like getting out on a Saturday or Sunday to enjoy the simple pleasures of shopping, browsing, and people watching with your friends, family, and neighbors.
Our definition of 'local' is small, independent for profit vendors consisting of artists, crafters, gift curators, and neighborhood brick and mortar mom & pop stores.
We believe they are the reason why people come to our fairs.
The vendors consisting of larger groups and organizations pay a higher rent because they attend because the small local vendors are bringing in the shoppers.
The other, larger, vendor groups include brick and mortar stores representing organizations such as real estate agencies, the media, gyms, etc, who may or may not be affiliated with larger regional, national or international organizations..
The 'other vendor groups' generally have staffs larger than 'mom & pop' along with one or two full or part time employees.
