Hi Dominique,

We usually have NYC vendors there and someone needs to be with the merchandise.  Are you going to sell for them? Thanks

Hello Becky

I have a New Orleans vendor that is very interested in doing the Sidewalk Sale on May 17th.

Please contact me as soon as possible if there is space for there to participate as they would have to ship out products soon.


Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.


Very best,

Dominique
