Costumers Marketplace
Marketplace applications went up on the Costume College website in November and the deadline of February 18, 2017 when there were to be in the hands of the Marketplace chair, has now passed. We are pleased to announce that there were quite a bit more applications than spaces and that more new vendors applied than ever! Thank you to all who reached out to costume related vendors and got them to apply. In the next two weeks Mela Hoyt-Heydon and Lois Munera will be making their decisions and then presenting them to the CGW board for approval. Upon approval, all vendors will be notified yes or no and the list of participating vendors will be posted on the Costume College website so all attendees can start planning their shopping sprees!
For those that are new to Costume College, the Marketplace is where patterns, trim, accessories, jewelry, books and such are available for sale. The Marketplace will also host its popular Early Bird Shopping Event on Friday afternoon: for a $7.00 donation benefiting the Costume College Scholarship Fund, eager shoppers can get a head start in The Marketplace, with admittance between the hours of 3:30 and 6 pm. You can purchase your Early Bird tickets at the Costume College Information Desk commencing Friday morning for your entrance into The Marketplace at 3:30 pm. We appreciate your contribution to the Costume College Scholarship Fund with your Early Bird ticket purchase.
If you have friends who are unable to attend Costume College itself, please remind them that The Marketplace is open to everyone. No College membership is required to come explore and enjoy a fabulous shopping experience. We hope you will find just the right items to inspire your costume visions, complete an outfit, or simply make you smile! Our goal for The Marketplace 2017 is to bring together a wonderful mix of supplies, accessories and information for all of your costume dreams!
