Love these Ideas.. Just a heads up. Im working on a from for Mayfest Vendor Signup / Payment on our website. I know that we had mentioned letting Chamber Members have a discount if they are going to be a vendor. Whats your thoughts on Percentages?? Wondering if the City has a 'map' of the vendor areas that they have used in the past. Would be very helpful in placement of vendors throughout the city.
Please add
Ashley Hunt
ashley.mhunt@uky.edu to this email as she is the new officer that has replaced Sheryl Bentley and subtract Wally as he is currently (or temporarily) not an officer.
