We’d be happy to help get you the contact information you’re looking for! Please email us (info@thebigone.biz) with as much information as possible. Information that helps us narrow down who you’re looking for includes:
- Which show was the vendor in
- What did they make
- The approximate area where their booth was located
The more information you give us, the better our chances are for figuring out who you’re looking for!
Yes, strollers are allowed. We do encourage the use of smaller sized strollers if possible due to the crowded aisles. Avoid using the double side-by-side strollers if possible. Wagon style strollers are allowed.
Show Acceptance notices for the Spring show start going out to returning vendors in late December. Show Acceptance notices for new vendors (a new vendor is anyone not in the previous year’s show, regardless if you’ve participated in another show of ours) around the middle of January.
Show Acceptance notices for ALL Fall/Christmas shows start going out to returning vendors in June. Show Acceptance notices for new vendors (a new vendor is anyone not in the previous year’s show, regardless if you’ve participated in another show of ours) by mid-July.
If we do not accept your application because the category or show is sold out, we will email you to see if you want to cancel your application or be placed on our cancelation waitlist. Payment is not processed while on a cancelation waitlist.
We love animals! However, the facilities only allow for service animals.
