John: The ticket sales they talk about on the web site, i.e. April 4th date and 11th date, are referring to the non vendor attendees. I tracked down the flea market chairman Tuesday evening, 4/18, and spoke with him by phone at his home. He is in the process of going through all the flea market vendor requests as quickly as he can and preparing the vendor packets for mailing. He anticipates the first "large" batch of vendor packets will ship this Saturday, 4/22, and will continue on until all vendor requests and packets are completed. I also made him well aware, along with their Chairman, of our frustration and concerns with absolutely zero feedback to many of our e-mails and no vendor news or updates on their web site. I think I unloaded both barrels, so probably my vendor packet will arrive in July.
Joe, make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes. Even though we doom and gloom, you will have a good time and hopefully we'll all get there too. You may need to keep a reasonable leash on your wallet.
