2011 Vendor & Advertising Information
Our vendor application deadline was October 1, 2010. We quite often receive application requests after this deadline to be placed on a vendor waiting list. Please know that any vendor waiting list for the Festival is based upon those applications which are received and juried by the October 1, 2010 deadline. Please check this website next June for a vendor application for the 2012 Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival.
The Vendor Committee encourages all potential applicants to visit the Festival to get a flavor of the type of products sold at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. Each year we receive an increasing number of vendor applications for a limited number of vendor booth spaces. When applying to the Festival, please keep in mind that we are always looking for new and fresh ideas.
