We are a Family Resort in Utica, Illinois, that is looking to set-up an open air market concept, with approximately 122 vendors from all over the State of Illinois.  We would like to start our market the second weekend in June of 2009.  The market will be open from 8-4pm on Saturday and Sundays, weather permitting, from June 13th through October 11th.  We are encouraging antique vendors, crafters, jewelry makers, sculptors, artists, farmers(fresh produce), and basically anyone with a unique item that they would like to sell to the Suburban Chicago clientele, to be included.  We are located directly across from Starved Rock State Park on Route 178, so we are anticipating anywhere from 1500 to 3000 people, per day, to come through.  In addition, we have an outdoor bar and grill lined up, music, an indoor amusement park, 18-hole mini-golf course, and a children's play land that is all open to the public.  Vendors will be provided approximately a 12'X12' area, for $30 per weekend and $35 if power is required(limited availability).  With the purchase of 4 weeks, we will throw in a 5th week complimentary or you can purchase a seasonal space, for all 18 weeks, at only $400 with no power needs or $500 with power.  This concept is still in its planning stages, but we will have definites shortly!  If you are interested, please let me know.  We will be basing on our decision on whether or not we will actually be doing this, based on feedback and interest.  If there is enough interest....I assure you it will be a GRAND time!!!

Sincerely,

Director of Sales
