Hey Fall Market applicants.....yes, we are running behind schedule on acceptances. Our April convention was much busier than expected then had some cancellations for Summer and Duck Daze layout changes to handle. We hope to get the first wave of acceptances out Mon or Tues.

In addition, we are working on getting the applications done for Homemade For The Holidays and Holidays in the Northwest.

As a reminder, don't fall for scammers!!!! We only accept applications thru our website, and ONLY use Square for invoicing. Any communication from us will only be thru the business email or business Messenger. We will NEVER request payment via CashApp, Zelle, Paypal or Venmo.
