Spring Craft Market

Hello Vendors, 

The Spring Craft Market Committee is hosting the 12th Annual Market on Saturday, May 10th, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm and we are now accepting applications. It has become a very successful event with amazing vendors, wonderful volunteers, and loyal shoppers. This fundraiser supports the life and work of our church in the community. Please read all the information carefully including specific details before applying at the link below.

 

APPLICATIONS

• Vendor Application for the  Mill Woods United Church Spring Craft Market are now available:

Mill Woods United Church: Spring Craft Market - Vendor Application

• We anticipate applications from 40+ vendors on 2 levels of the Church. Your table location will be determined by your preference on the application form AND on the date we receive both your application and payment. We will guarantee the first 30 applications receive the choice (upper or lower level) you included on the application form.

• Applications will be gently curated to avoid duplication of products. We are seeking handmade/home based products with a spring/garden theme. We are looking for the best mix of vendors for the best shopping experience for our customers. There will be a limit to the number of vendors selling similar products.

• It is important that you submit your application (via the Google Form) AND make full payment (via e-transfer to mwuc3@telus.net or cheque payable to Mill Woods United Church) as soon as possible.  You must include your name and business name in the message box on the e-transfer. 

• Print off your own e-transfer transaction confirmation for your records.

• Your application will be reviewed by the Committee and confirmation of your participation and booth placement (upper or lower level) emailed to you by the end of March 2025.  

• If you are unable to attend the Spring Craft Market, please notify us as soon as possible.  Up to four weeks prior to the event a refund, less a $10.00 processing fee, will be given.  After that point, no refund will be given.

• Receipts for your table payment, WI-FI information and a menu describing the goodies we are offering will be in an envelope at your table when you arrive.  

 

SPECIAL NOTES

• Our Heavenly Hospitality Group will be providing light snacks and beverages throughout the day.  The luncheon cashier will open at 10:00 am and close at 3:30 pm.

• Door Prizes: Each year we ask our vendors to donate something that can be used for our door prize packages which will be drawn every hour.  Please bring these to the market on May 10, 2025 and place them on the table on the main floor front lobby.  Please either attach your business card or your name to the door prize so we can acknowledge you when we announce door prizes throughout the day.  We really appreciate these donations.

• An attempt is being made to have a cash machine in place.  

• There will be a group of strong volunteers available to help you carry your items to your table when you arrive.  More strong volunteers will be available to help you carry your items out to your vehicle at the end of the day.
