In the afternoon, prepare to be wowed by a breathtaking draft horse show, and hold onto your hats once again because Pegasus Riders will be strutting their stuff at 3:00 pm, followed by pony events and a horse fun show. It’s guaranteed to be a hoof-stomping good time!

But wait, the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ve got live music lined up just for you. Liberated Band will take the stage at 7 pm, and to end the day with a bang, we’re lighting up the sky with a dazzling fireworks display at dusk.

Yoder Heritage Day 2024

in Yoder, Kansas

Saturday, August 24, 2024

 

Hello Vendors! We’ve started plans for YODER HERITAGE DAY, 2024! I, Maegan Hunninghake, will be in charge of the vendors again this year. This is my tenth year in this position, so I may be a familiar face to you. If you are interested in being a craft or product vendor during YODER HERITAGE DAY, please complete this form and send it back, with your check, no later than Aug. 5th. Any payments post marked later then August 5th will have an additional fee of 20.00, Your payment will assure you a spot in Vendor Village, if spaces are still available. If you have any additional questions, or wish to no longer have mailings or emails, you may e-mail me at yhdvendors@gmail.com or call 620-664-5475 and I will get you taken off the list. If you are finding this form online, welcome! Just fill this out and send it back to me for a spot at this years upcoming event.

Location of Vendor Village– Vendor Village will follow an alleyway that connects 2 main areas of Yoder. Our committee has used this alleyway the past several years. The alleyway starts next to the Et. Cetra shop in Yoder. (across from the Hardware store)

ALL VENDORS WILL ENTER YODER FROM SWITZER ROAD/MAIN STREET ENTRANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY ACCESS FOR VENDORS. (NO EXCEPTIONS) I should be standing there to speak with you and supply any info.

Non-refundable Fee:

$40.00 for a 10X10 ft. space
$70.00 for a 10X20 ft. space
$110.00 for 10×30 ft. space

 

You are responsible to bring your own tent and/or tables.  If you need electricity, there will be an extra $15.00 charge.  Electric service will be provided on a space available basis.  Please bring your own extension cords.  Each vendor will be responsible to report their own KANSAS SALES TAX.

Set-up- Set up will be between 6-8am on Saturday morning. When you arrive, I will show you your booth space.  Parking is limited in the craft area so please be flexible. During set up, you will need to unload quickly and then proceed to the parking next to the village.  This will allow everyone to get access to their space as soon as possible. Vendors need to be ready for customers by 8:00am and stay open until 4:00pm, but are welcome and encouraged to stay open later if you wish, as activities will continue until dark.

Filling out your form:  If you have any special requirements for your booth space please note it on your form and we will try to accommodate. Please list what you will be selling and if you are promoting a particular product (ie: Avon, Tupperware) so that we can try to prevent duplicate vendors or space them accordingly. Those that return their check for their space first, will have first options on selling that product.

Please keep in mind that YODER HERITAGE DAY is a family event.  No alcohol, tobacco, illegal, or other inappropriate items will be available for sale.

Remember forms are due by August 5th or late fee will be added

Looking forward to another great event,
