Vendor Application & Payment Schedule

​

May 1, 2022:  MCA&F will begin accepting applications

​

August 1, 2022:  No refunds after this date

 

Vendors should indicate on their application a first and second choice for placement.  DO NOT put the same location as both choices.  MCA&F will review applications as they are received and notify applicants of availability.  Vendors will receive invoices as they are approved.  Invoices will be due within 30 days of receipt.  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 1, 2022.  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 1, 2022.  Model City Antique & Flea is unable to issue full refunds due to the necessary funds required for planning the event.
