MUM FEST
VENDOR FORM
NEW 2021 - TWO-DAY EVENT
Dear Vendor:
We invite you to become a vendor at our farm’s annual Mum Fest, September 11-12, 2021 from 10am-4pm! We are currently working on the two-day schedule and will announce our line up of events throughout the summer months.
Even though we are moving to a two-day event, Mum Fest will still be a FREE family friendly event with games, local food, vendors, music, and wholesome farm experiences for connecting kids and adults with local agriculture. We’ve seen this event grow from 500 people in 2014 to well OVER 2,000 last year.
We invite you to reach out to this audience by becoming a Mum Fest vendor. Not only will you have the opportunity to sell your products, we will provide you with ample exposure to the community through our many avenues of marketing and publicity for Mum Fest.
We look forward to having you as a Mum Fest vendor! A sign up form is located at the bottom of this page.
Sincerely,
Greg & Mariah Anderson
Triple M Farm: Mariah’s Mums & More
MUM FEST VENDOR GUIDELINES

We will select food vendors/trucks and vendors that sell hand-made, crafted, vintage, one-of-a-kinds, and re-purposed pieces and goods as well as unique merchandise, clothing, jewelry, and fashion accessories. We will not approve direct sales vendors (ex: Lularoe, Tupperware,
Paparazzi, Usborne Books, Pampered Chef, etc.).
Vendor Spaces
All vendors are responsible for tables, display units, table covers, extension cords, generators, signage and any other items needed to effectively set up their area. We CANNOT guarantee any labor assistance for set up, however we will have staff helping out in the vendor area when available. You may request your previous vendor location in the additional comments section of the sign up application, however there are NO guarantees that you'll be granted the same space or request. A vendor layout will be sent out in August.

Cancellation Policy
All space fees are non-refundable. Weather Policy: Because of our full calendar of events, we cannot reschedule Mum Fest for a future weekend if adverse weather arises. Therefore, we will not make any refunds for cancellations due to weather. If inevitable inclement weather is expected, we will email all vendors with updates. We will try to hold Mum Fest even if we do have some rain in the forecast. If we are required to cancel due a severe/hazardous weather event, we will make every effort to notify you in advance by any means we feel fit; however, no credits or refunds will be issued. To protect your tent, it must be sturdy enough to withstand Central Illinois weather. Also, you need to have enough weights on each pole of your tent as our farm does not have a lot of wind breaks. Generally, a 40-50-pound weight per each tent leg is standard.
