Last Call: Vendors Invited for 7th Annual Hydrangea Festival

Douglas County Communications

Are you an artist, a craftsman, an interior decorator or a contractor?  Are you a nursery or garden center?  Do you have a business that sells lawn mowers, gardening equipment or home improvement materials?  Are you a local farmer?  If so, you need to be a vendor at the 7th annual Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival on June 7th - 8th  on the grounds of the Douglas County Courthouse!

Four markets are featured this year:  Artists and Craftsmen, Plants and Flowers, Home and Garden, and Farmers.  The Artists and Craftsmen’s Market features original art, sculpture, jewelry and other artisan crafts.  The Plant and Flower Market features live plants and other nursery items.  The Home and Garden Market includes commercial businesses that supply products and services for inside and outside the house (no catalogue sales).  The Farmers Market features meat and home-grown produce and vegetables.

Vendor space is $75 for the two-day event.  The Farmers Market is a Saturday-only event and vendor space is $25.  All vendors are juried before acceptance.

Last year’s festival attracted Douglas Countians as well as visitors from 11 states and from cities and counties all over Georgia.  Your product or service will be seen!

In addition to the markets, the Hydrangea Festival features the Nationally award-winning Standard Flower Show,  tours of display and demonstration gardens, private garden tours (ticketed), and a presentation by “The Grumpy Gardener” Steve Bender (ticketed).

Vendor registration forms are available on the festival web site at www.PennyMcHenryHydrangeaFestival.com or by calling 770.920.7593.  Applications will be accepted through May 30th.
