While vendor stall spaces are reserved for makers and farmers at the Mission Market, local businesses interested in a stall space at the market are invited to join us as a Market Day Sponsor. As a Market Day Sponsor, your sponsorship fee includes tent set-up for the day, and inclusion in our weekly marketing efforts (social media and newsletter). Music and Special Events sponsorships are a great way to sponsor the spirit of the Mission Market while getting your name out to our market fans.

I understand that the Mission Market is a maker's market. All items sold must be grown, made or produced by the vendor, no resale items are allowed.

I have visited the market location and understand the stall arrangement.

I understand that the City of Mission will be communicating with me each week via email and occasionally by telephone and I will provide the City with current contact information.

I will supply my own 10’ x 10’ pop-up tent (white preferred) and table(s) and weights to secure my tent.

I understand my stall must be completely set up by 4:30 p.m. and will remove all of my items and any trash by the end of the market day.

I understand that unless I have pre-paid for the entire market season, I will have my booth fee of $25.00 available for collection by 4:30pm each market day, either in cash or by check made out to the City of Mission.

I agree to clearly label (no smaller than 3’’x5’’) each of my products with the appropriate description: Type of produce, origin of product (city/state, name/location of farm or warehouse) and price of item.

I have read the K-State Research and Extension Food Safety for Kansas Farmers Market Vendors: Regulations and Best Practices and can confirm that my products and practices meet the standards outlined in the document.

If licensing or inspections are required for my products, I can confirm that they are in compliance and up to date.

I understand all federal, state and local laws governing retail sales tax must be followed. I have completed or will complete by market day the required documents to report sales tax figures to the Kansas Department of Revenue. (If you need help establishing a sales tax ID record, please contact the market coordinator).

I understand that as part of regular promotion of the market, City staff will be taking photos at the market of vendors and their products and using them on the City website, on social media and in other promotional materials.
