All vendors! Please make sure that you only apply to be in the RI Folk Festival by going straight to our webpage and filling out the form yourself. Do not fill out any forms sent to you by people pretending to be from the festival. Do not even click on a link if they send one to you, even if it looks legit.. Go straight to the RI Folk Festival website and apply yourself. We've got a scammer out there trying to get people to sign up and pretending to be working for the festival. We cannot be held responsible for anyone who falls for this scam. Thank you.  It's unfortunate there are people out there like this.
