Insurance certificates may be submitted by mail, emailed, or uploaded to the vendor record in Manage My Market at least two weeks prior to market start date.

Advice for New Vendors
As you have read in our Vendor Handbook, cancellations can be costly for vendors. Market staff would prefer to avoid charging unnecessary cancellation fees, and we are here to help new vendors determine a schedule that will set them up for success.
If you are feeling uncertain about your participation or success at this market, we encourage you to apply for no more than four dates at first. That way, the expectation is that you would pay your booth fee and participate in the first approved date. If you were in any way dissatisfied with the experience, including lower than expected sales or an interest in trying other markets, you could cancel all three remaining dates with a minimum of 48 hours notice and you would not be charged for any of those dates. If you are having a wonderful experience and wish to participate in more dates, you may submit additional date requests by contacting the Market Director.
Please feel free to reach out to Julia, Market Director, at market@stjohnsopportunity.org for application guidance.
