register to merchant. There will be a link on the Registration site
or you can go to the Merchant page, www.wisteria.org/merchant.htm and

areas you would like to have your merchant site located and pay your
merchant fee. You will also need to provide your contact information,
business name and a short description of the items you will be
selling. You must be registered for the festival in order to be
a merchant at Wisteria Cornstalk.

merchant site for me?
The number of sites will be
limited. Costs range from $50 for a 15x30, $75 for a 30x30 and $100
for a 50x30. They are available on a first-come basis.

I receive a merchant site?
The Merchant Coordinator,
Pam, will contact you once your Wisteria Cornstalk registration is

in the campground?

located in a circular village area across from Caffiena's in the
middle of it all.
5. Can I pick my site?
Sorry but no, site
assignments will be made by the Merchant Coordinator.
6. Can I camp at my
merchant site?
The size of the merchant
sites allow for merchants to camp in that space. You are free to camp
in other areas of the campground if you like. If you plan to camp in
an RV (self-contained only), you may not have enough room in your
merchant space and may need to camp in the designated RV camping.

There will be a parking area
located past the RV camping. If you need to have your vehicle at your
merchant site it will have to fit in your assigned site. If you are
not using it for camping, vending, or storage, it is recommended that
you park in the parking area.

need assistance?
Pam is Merchant Coordinator.
She can be reached at pam@wisteria.org.
During Cornstalk she can be found at the Wisteria Market or Wisteria
Office next to Caffiena's. A member of Cornstalk staff can
reach Pam for concerns or questions.

to attract customers?

of advertising. Thank you! We may also have some literature you
can take to other shows, contact pam@wisteria.org.
Please have your friends, supporters and happy customers spread the
word. Participate in the discussion on the Wisteria Friends e-group
in advance of the festival to see if there are particular things
folks are looking for.

describing what you will have to sell.
