2022 Head of the Hooch will be held on Saturday, November 5-6. Vendors were previously asked to respond to an interest form, and from those results we have selected the participating vendors. Please review the details in this post PRIOR to registering up for the event. No refunds will be given for booth fees if you are unable or choose not to participate.
- You must stay for the duration of the event (10:00 am - 6:00 pm). There will be a late load out post-event for safety reasons.

Sarah is adding the selected vendors into a restricted enrollment form on Signup Genius, and will be emailing you instructions today; you must use the same email address, or access will be denied. If you have any problems, contact the help desk.
Failure to register and pay your setup fees online in a timely manner will result in your slot being dropped, and another from the waitlist added.
Selected Artisans
I believe we found space for all currently active artisan vendors who indicated their desire to participate; inactive or first-time vendors were not accommodated. This list is too lengthy to post here; check your email for details.
Food vendors were selected based on seniority, past sales at the Hooch and Oktoberfest sales, and overall season participation levels.
