Application Regulations:
DPPD is growing and we are stretching our wings and as such our regulations have changed:
- We now request all vendors to donate a raffle basket with suggested retail value of at least $15.00 or more (product, reading, etc). You will receive a donation receipt. These raffle donations must be delivered to the registration table by 10 a.m. by a representative from each booth. Please wrap them in cellophane to make the items clearly visible, and provide an itemized list of items included in the basket. (We want to make sure your products are well advertised!)
- Applications will be reviewed and spaces will be assigned according to utility needs and space requirements. Once a vendor space is assigned by the vendor chairperson, it may not be arbitrarily changed. There will be NO guarantee of the same vendor space from year to year.
- A site number and name will be assigned in advance of the event. There will be no switching spaces without direct permission from the Coordinator of Dayton Pagan Pride.
- Only one business, service, or group/organization is allowed per booth.(Unless Combined booth space is purchased)
- This is a family-oriented event. No adult-themed items can be displayed.
- Readers and Healers may NOT sell retail items at their table/booth space, unless they apply for a special COMBINED BOOTH SPACE rental. (See below.)
- LINK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT: Any artisan, merchant, reader, healer, group or organization that hosts a website agrees to post – in a prominent area of their website – an announcement for the DPPD event. The announcement should remain posted until the 7th of October 2021.
- If you are on Facebook, please DO NOT create a Dayton PPD event linked with your business. Last year we had confusion on Facebook with a vendor who had to cancel at the last minute. They were unable to come and in return whomever responded to their event, thought PPD itself was cancelled. You are welcome to link your FB page to the event DPPD will create to send traffic through.
