Vending Policy

The MWGF will conduct a silent auction as part of the Vendor Area with proceeds to benefit the organization as part of the flea market. There is no fee required to sell in the Vendor Area, but donations to the silent auction are suggested at 10% of your expected sales receipts.

Vendors - Please Contact Us

Hi everyone. As you know, there are no fees to sell at MWGB - only a suggested donation to our silent auction.

HOWEVER if you intend to set up shop, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  with some information about your needs so we can plan to have your space set up.  Sponsors will get priority for the space they need and better positioning in the vendor area, and then other vendors will have preference on a first come, first served basis. 

There is no selling of any items on the Midwest Geobash venue unless it is during posted vending hours and in our vendor areas by registered vendors. Anyone caught violating this policy will be asked to leave the event grounds.
