Dear Vendors,
We are pleased to announce our 6th Annual Piedmont Open Air Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show, June 3th 2017, and invite you to be a vendor at this year’s event. We have an exciting new venue that has great visibility and experience with outdoor shows. We will be located at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market off Interstate 40 and Sandy Springs Road in Colfax, NC, easily accessible from Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. This earlier weekend should be cooler than our past shows in mid June. The site is a large grassy field, the first area on the left entering the campus, with a limited number of electric and water hook ups available. There is ample parking with food vendors and a restaurant on site. The Farmers Market has security on staff as so will we have a security officer for the Show.
This location has thousands of customers on weekends during the growing season with great visibility and advertising capabilities. We will be featured on their marquee on I-40 and on television and radio stations. We are already on their website, www.triadfarmersmarket.com Please take a look to see images and web cam of the Farmers Market. The show hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm. Vendor setup is 7:00am to 9:00am.
