Vendor opportunities available at the Got to Be NC Festival May 17-19; antique tractors also sought Festival to be held May 17-19 at State Fairgrounds

RALEIGH – Plans are underway for the Got to Be NC Festival May 17-19 at the State Fairgrounds and organizers are looking for vendors, Got to Be NC member companies, and antique tractors and farm-equipment owners to be part of the activities. 
Collectors of antique tractors and farm equipment and collector clubs can join a display of more than 1,000 pieces of farm machinery at the festival. Tractors in working order also can participate in the daily tractor parade through the fairgrounds. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required.
Spots are available for independent vendors and concessionaires at the festival. Applications for food vendors are due by April 1. Registration forms and vendor applications are online at https://www.gottobencfestival.com/Vendors.htm
In addition, registration is open for Got to Be NC members who are interested in sampling, showing and selling their products in the 50,000 square foot Food Lion Local Goodness Marketplace in the Agri Supply Expo Center. The marketplace draws nearly 100 North Carolina food and beverage companies, promoting their products to thousands of consumers. The deadline for members to apply is March 22.
Only food and beverage products made, processed or grown in North Carolina are featured in the Marketplace. A limited number of approved N.C. made crafts may exhibit, but priority for space will be given to food and beverage products.
Marketplace exhibitors must be part of the Got to Be NC program to be eligible for a Got to Be NC member booth. For more information, go to https://gottobencfestival.com and click on the Food Lion Local Goodness Marketplace application link.  
The Got to Be NC Festival is a family-friendly event that highlights the best of North Carolina agriculture. Visitors can roam through the antique farm equipment, sample and purchase locally made products at the Food Lion Local Goodness Marketplace, enjoy the excitement of the carnival and relax to live music on an outdoor stage.
