There are three major changes to the Sales policies for the 2009 Ichthus Festival. The first is we are going to eliminate the Sales Commission on vendor gross sales. The second change is we are going to raise the booth fee to compensate for the loss in commission to $750.00. This a similar amount that would have been paid with the booth fee last year and the sales commission. The third change is it will be the responsibility of the vendor to pay the KY Sales Tax (6%) and the Wilmore City Tax (1%). Ichthus will provide the vendors with the correct forms for filings these taxes. Ichthus will provide the vendor names to the KY Dept of Revenue and the City of Wilmore. The 2009 festival is the 40th Anniversary for Ichthus so we are expecting a larger crowd and we have planned an appropriate festival to celebrate 40 years of ministry. If you are still interested in being a sales vendor at the festival continue reading the Sales Vendor Policies and submit the online application. Thanks in advance for being part of Ichthus. |
