This year we are reducing the number of vendors we invite to participate in order to create an improved experience for both sellers and shoppers alike while offering our vendors a greater share of the customer base. Vendors will be selected through the application process; uniqueness of product(s), product price range, variety and quality of display will all be taken into consideration.

Applications must be submitted by September 16. Nevada Women’s Fund’s nine person events committee will select vendors and selection notifications will be emailed by October 7.
