Our vendor inbox has been running about as hot as a big-block engine lately, and we are incredibly thankful for it! 🏁🚗
We’ve had a HUGE influx of vendor applications come in, and we are working through them one by one. There’s no magic approval button, no robot sorting the pile, and no application drag race happening behind the scenes. 😂 Each application is individually reviewed by our team and then presented to our board.
We’re also being a little more intentional this year about vendor variety. We don’t want an entire row of the exact same thing, because that’s not fair to the vendors who put their time, money, and energy into being part of the show. Our goal is a great mix for our guests and a better opportunity for each approved vendor to have a successful day.
And to our 2025 vendors, THANK YOU for all the feedback you gave us after last year’s show. We heard you! We’ve taken those comments back to the garage, popped the hood, and are using them to help make this year’s vendor experience even better. 🔧❤️
So if you’ve submitted an application and haven’t heard from us yet, we haven’t lost you in the glove box! We just ask for a little patience while we work through everyone fairly.
Our goal is to have all vendor applications responded to no later than the end of this week.
Thank you for the incredible support and interest in being part of this year’s show. This is definitely one traffic jam we’re happy to have! 🏁
