Craft Vendor Information

Important Notice To Vendors and Festival Participants:

SUNDAY, July 13th - Festival END TIME:

The Duck Derby begins at 5:00 PM; the police will not open the street until after all of the pedestrian traffic has moved away from the street and onto the sidewalks comfortably. They determine when that is, based on the crowd size and their movement. Safety is their responsibility.

To that end, all vendors should know 6:00 PM is when they can move cars to Wolcott Street to Pack up and depart and NOT BEFORE. We have tried to accomodate traffic on Wolcott Street during the derby to help vendors get away at a decent time, but pedestrian safety by the police takes priority.

 

On July 12th & 13th, 2008 the LeRoy Oatka Festival will be celebrating its 20th year. One of the largest features of this festival is our arts and crafts show overlooking the scenic Oatka Creek.
