Vendor Application & Payment Schedule

​

May 15, 2021:  MCA&F will begin accepting applications

​

August 15, 2021:  No refunds after this date

 

Vendors should indicate on their application a first and second choice for placement.  Due to the number of returning vendors, MCA&F will review applications as they are received.  Approved vendors will receive an invoice which will be due within 30 days or prior to August 15, whichever comes first.  Vendor booths are not secured until payment is received.  Once a room is filled, vendors will receive their second choice booth placement if it is still available. 

 

Once a vendor category is full, applicants in the same category will be placed on a waiting list.  In the event a previously invoiced applicant does not pay their fee, we will move to the waiting list.

 

Model City Antique & Flea will not issue any refunds after August 15, 2021.  ONLY in the event the Fall & Holiday Market has to be rescheduled, vendors may apply their rental fee to a new date, a future date or request a refund in the amount of 70% of their rental amount.  No refunds will be given in any amount if a vendor cancels for any reason unless they do so prior to August 15, 2021.  Model City Antique & Flea is unable to issue full refunds due to the necessary funds required for planning the event.
