Gift Locally!
You are invited to apply to sell your hand-made and/or locally-sourced gift items, housewares, jewelry, clothing, food gifts, artwork, and other items at our bazaar. We encourage you to have plenty of low-cost items in your inventory (in the $3-20 range) along with your more-valuable offerings. We need to see examples of your work (photos are fine, emailed photos are great!) unless you are a Cedar Mill Farmers’ Market vendor or are known to the organizers.
Leedy Grange Hall is located in the center of the Cedar Mill area of Washington County, near Highway 26 and with plenty of parking. (Our 97229 zip code has the highest-income residents in the region!) All the profit from vendor fees for this event will benefit Leedy, to renovate our kitchen/dining area.
We are trying to make it easy and profitable for you to participate. Please read through this information sheet and the Application Form. If you have questions about anything, please contact one of the organizers and we’ll be happy to help you.

Leedy Grange Hall has a large main hall and a large dining room which will have 6 and 8-foot tables available for display of items. The space provided for each vendor will be at least 1/2 of an 8-foot table, depending on the number of vendors.
The sale is "boutique style" so you will drop off your items on Friday, set them up if you want to, and go enjoy the holiday weekend with your family if you choose. If you have signs and/or display units for your crafts, please bring them and help us set them up.
We will have one checkout station with a cash register. We will be accepting credit/debit card payments. EACH item you bring for sale must have an easily removable price tag with your vendor number on it. We'll send you a vendor number after we receive your completed application and fees.
You may request a number if you have a preference, we will attempt to accomodate you.
We will provide hot drinks for shoppers, bags and wrapping materials and some entertainment.
There is plenty of parking nearby, and we will have a large display out front and a banner and lights on the hall to draw customers. |
