Detailed Description: Products: Starter Bracelets, Watches, Necklaces / Chocker, Brooch Studes(New Item not yet on web) and several catagories of charms. I also carry Patriotic Auto Magnetic Ribbons. After looking at my unfinished web site you still have any questions about my product please feel free to call 817 – 235 – 6024. Seeing as there will be no electricity available I was asking about using my own 800 Rated Watts / 900 Max Watts Portable Generator. It will be sitting under a table. I need this so iI will be able to run my PayPal virtule credit card machine through my laptop.

Thanks, Jane, for visiting our site! The Vendor Application is on the Turkey Fest page, not this Festival sub-page. But, it makes sense to have it here, too!
You can resubmit your online vendor application by going back to the Turkey Fest homepage, or I can use the information you’ve provided above to take to the Festival Committee for approval. I’ll contact you as soon as possible after the committee meets.

At Saturday’s festival, there will be a variety of entertainment running throughout the day. For musical acts, we are focusing on local talent from the North Texas area. We are still confirming the acts, but please check back to the website for updates. Also, the Celebrity Hunt Teams (with shows on the Outdoor Channel, Pursuit Channel, and Versus) will be at the festival for autographs and photo ops. Hope you’ll come out and join us for a fantastic festival expereience!
