A vendor may register by mail or in person at the Host Tent at OCHG - Vendors register only themselves to sell their own products. This registration does not provide a vendor with the opportunity to sell items produced by persons other than the vendor. The registration fee is waived for vendors age 10 and under. All vendors under the age of 18 must have their parents co-sign the vendor agreement. Scholarships are available for hardship cases.
You may not vend on the same day that you register. Our volunteers need time to process your registration, enter your information in our database, make your name tags, annual Certificate of Authorization and complete follow-up calls, if needed. Registration Option #1 Returning Vendors Preregistration: Returning vendors are strongly encouraged to preregister by mailing in their registration forms to be received by April 26th to allow our volunteers to update your information in our database, make your name tags and annual Certificate of Authorization in advance of Opening Day (Orleans May 18th; French Lick June 4th). By preregistering by mail returning vendors need not attend any of the two vendor registration meetings outlined below.
