Vendor sign-up begins

  More than 100 vendors

  expected for 2012 event

BOONSBORO, Md. (January 2012) - The fourth annual Boonsboro Green Fest might be five months away, but vendors should start planning now if they want to participate in the event slated for May 12, 2012, in the town’s Shafer Park.

Click here for information that will direct you to the application form. Fill out the form and email it to the committee or print and mail it to: Boonsboro Green Fest, PO Box 64, Boonsboro, MD 21713, along with your registration fee. Checks should be made payable to Boonsboro Green Fest.

The registration fee again this year is $20 for a 10-foot square space. Additional 10-foot square spaces are $20 each. Vendors must provide their own tables and canopies.

Registration fees and sponsorships help defray the cost of printing, advertisements and materials. The festival, along with parking, is free to attendees; more than 2,200 attended the event last year.

The registration application deadline is April 2; however, the Green Fest committee urges vendors to apply as soon as possible, as there are limited spaces available. Each year, the number of vendors has increased. More than 100 vendors filled the park last year.

The Mother’s Day weekend festival is sponsored by the Boonsboro Recycling Task Force, whose mission is to promote recycling and conservation through service and education. The Task Force meets at 7 p.m. each third Tuesday at the Community Center in Shafer Park. Attendance is open to the public.

The Green Fest has been designated as an official event of the Town of Boonsboro.
