Unpaid table requests will not be accepted. Confirmation of your table rental will be sent upon receipt of your check. Vendor requests may be canceled by January 31, 2025 and a refund will be issued. There will be no refunds after January 31, 2025 for any reason unless another vendor requests for and pays for your tables by February 15, 2025.
Tables are eight feet long and cost $40 per table. Please note that if you need more than two chairs for yourself or your helpers you will need to bring additional chairs. Each vendor may have two helpers who do not have to pay for general admission.
To reserve tables for the vendor market, please download the form from the link below, complete and return to IPMS Richmond.
If you plan on using your own tables or free-standing display racks in front or next to your tables, please contact me so that we can work out how those might be best situated as to not impact other vendors or violate fire codes.
