Frequently Asked QuestionS​

​

 

What is the process of becoming a vendor?

All shows are 100% juried. Once you have received approval, you will not need to be juried for further events unless your product line changes (exceptions: jewelry and direct sales items are juried monthly). After the jury process, you will be notified that you are approved for application. At that time, please read the rules and regulations. If you would like to proceed, please complete online application and return it with payment.

 

What forms of payment do you accept?

All payments are made online when signing up for your selected events.

(PLEASE NOTE: booth is not confirmed until payment has been received)

 

Do you limit certain types of products?​

JEWELRY: 10% of our total vendor population will be dedicated to jewelry. That number will vary, but will average 4-6 vendors. Depending on the number of applications for this product, we may rotate you through certain months, so that everyone has a chance to show. We will always want to vary the STYLE of jewelry, so that we can offer different options to our shoppers.

​

DIRECT SALES ITEMS: Products such as Tupperware, Scentsy, Advocare, etc., will be limited to 10% of the vendor population. This will average 6-8 vendors. In cases where there are multiple vendors selling the same product, We will rotate you all through, so that all have an opportunity to show.

​

70-80% of items will be HANDCRAFTED, items. People want "different, unique, one of a kind" items.

​

PROHIBITED PRODUCTS (not allowed): Tobacco or alcoholic beverages, any item that is not family oriented (no adult themed items), novelties that are determined to be low-cost imports. UBM reserves the right to disqualify any product that we feel is inappropriate for the demographics who will be attending our events.

 

Do you give refunds?

No refunds.

​

Vendor cancellations

PLEASE NOTE: NO REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS WILL BE MADE DUE TO VENDOR CANCELLATION. For inclement weather, UBM will make every effort to hold/continue the event. All vendors are expected to comply. Refunds are NOT given due to inclement weather conditions.

 

What if the weather is bad?

UBM monitors weather and will make the call no later than 6:00 AM on the morning of show. A mass email will be sent if event is cancelled due to inclement weather.

​

Can I bring a pet?

Our show is dog-friendly... please keep them on a leash or in a crate.

​

Do I need a canopy? (Arts/Craft and Food Vendors)

YES. Your canopy should be in good condition and you MUST use weights... 30 lbs on each leg. No stakes should be driven into the ground. No exceptions.

​

Is electricity available?

No. Small quiet generators are allowed for the event.

​

What about clean up?

Please leave your space clean like you found it Please pay extra attention to anything left on the ground around you. Failure to comply with this will result in not being invited back.

​

Can we break down/leave early?

No. When you sign up for a market, you agree to stay for the entire show. Hutto Market Days is held on the 3rd Saturday of every month, March through December, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. If you break down early, you will not be allowed back to any future shows with UBM. Also, if you have prepaid for the entire year, you will not be refunded. We ask that you please be mindful of the time and effort of all of your vendor friends who prepared to participate, follow the rules, and chose to stay for the entire day.

​

What about alcoholic beverages?

No alcohol allowed on the premises.

​

Do I need a tax ID?

YES, if you are selling taxable items, you must collect sales tax and you must display your Tax ID certificate. Events such as ours are heavily advertised, and alerts seem to be sent to the attention of the Comptroller's office, so please expect to be inspected. They are nice humans they do need to ensure you are abiding by the rules. I am not qualified to counsel you on tax issues, so please check out the requirements on the state site:

What about special requests?

It is extremely difficult to honor special placement requests for each individual vendor. Depending on special needs and space availabilty, we will try to work with you if we're notified ahead of time (so communication is key).

 

What if I want a double booth?

Double booth, double fee. Not a problem.

 

Can I unload at my space? 

No. You will need to bring a dolly or wagon to transport your products, canopy/tent, tables, etc., to your space. It isn't a very far, but if your items are heavy or you have lots, a dolly will be very helpful to you. We do not currently have a roadie/helper to assist with loading/unloading.
