VENDORS INVITED TO 2012 HAM & YAM FESTIVAL;
BOOTH SPACES AVAILABLE ON SATURDAY, MAY 5 The Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation has begun to accept applications for the 28th annual Ham & Yam Festival May 4-5."Each year, the event grows and changes," states Chris Johnson, DSDC Executive Director. "The Festival Committee has elected to drop the Sunday afternoon portion of the festival in favor of a free Friday night concert featuring legendary Southern Rock band Molly Hatchet (click here for more details). The festival will continue with the Saturday night concert featuring a national Country artist who has yet to be announced. As always, we are looking for quality vendors to participate in the festival." The space allotted for craft vending is already filling fast, Johnson notes. With most vendors returning to this popular event, available openings for craft, art, and agricultural products are now being offered. The festival, held in historic Downtown Smithfield, draws approximately 30,000 attendees. Streetside vending spaces are 10' x 12' and cost $110 for Saturday. The “early bird” cut off for registration will be Friday, March 30, although vendors are encouraged to submit their applications sooner, as the number of booths will be limited to 125. Applications are available for download from the Ham & Yam website www.hamandyam.com and at the office of the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation, which may be reached by calling 919-934-0887.
