Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival 2010

Vendors: The Fantastic Fiber Mini Mall

Vendors are open Saturday and Sunday only

Celebrate our 11th annual festival with us:

September 24 - 26, 2010

There's no denying we have one of the greatest group of fiber vendors of any festival! You can find equipment for all fiber arts - spinning wheels, weaving looms, knitting needles, and much more. Plus more fiber than you would believe! And high-quality knitting yarns, many handspun or handdyed. Not to mention all sorts of gift items for fiber-lovers and "normal" people as well. If you'd like to become a vendor, see our Vendor Booth Application and Vendor Rules. And the Great Lakes region is full of fiber businesses of all descriptions. See some of them in our paid advertising section.

You can also download our flyer to hand out at other festivals or display in your stores.

Vendors, please remember two members of your business are invited to the Vendor Dinner on the Saturday of the festival, and your vendor fee automatically includes a membership in the festival. If you pay at or after the festival for your 2010 booth, your membership will cover through the end of the following year.

If you'd like to become a vendor, contact the Vendor Chair, Jeanie Prentice, jmprentice@charter.net, to see if there's space. Then you can either pull out, fill in, and mail the vendor registration page in the booklet; or, print the vendor form on this website, and mail it in with your payment.
