Our Autumn Days Festival is right around the corner! This years festival will be held on Saturday, October 12, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at our Victoria Railroad Park (1403 Firehouse Rd. Victoria, VA). We are welcoming anyone and everyone to come and be a vendor for this event whether you want to sell food, crafts, trinkets, or get the word out about an important topic. To be a vendor for this festival you must submit one of our vendor forms and pay the $30 space reservation fee. Each vendor will get a 10X20 space to set up their tables, tents, or anything else they would like to bring. If you plan on being one of our food vendors you will not only need to fill out our food vendor form, but also apply for a temporary restaurant permit with the local Health Department if you do not already have the required permits to sell food in a public space. Once your forms are completed you can bring them to the Victoria town office, mail them to the Victoria town office (1809 Main St. Victoria, VA), or email them to our secretary/event cooridnator, William Pernell, at william.pernell@victoriava.net.
