MCA&F will review applications as they are received and notify applicants of availability.  Vendors will receive invoices as they are approved.  Half of the invoice will be due within 24 hours of receipt.  This will serve as a non-refundable deposit.  Vendor booths are not secured until deposit is received.  Balance of invoice will be due by January 31, 2023.

 

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 January 31, 2023.  ONLY in the event the Spring Show 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 refundable rental amount.  No refunds will be given in any amount if a vendor cancels for ANY REASON unless they do so prior to January 31, 2023.  Model City Antique & Flea is unable to issue full refunds due to the necessary funds required for planning the event.
