CALLING ALL VENDORS
Applications are now open! But listen up, ghouls & goblins: DO NOT send payment with your application.
Why? Because all applications must be reviewed first — it makes things much easier (and less scary ) for us across departments if we only collect payment once you’re officially approved.
Applications may be submitted by mail or directly through the Main Street office. No tricks, just treats… but follow the rules or you might hear our BOO!
Mark your calendars — Neewollah on Noble is the spookiest street party of the season!
