Vintage Market Vendor Application – Oliver’s Marketplace

We are so excited to introduce our First Annual 2-Day Vintage Market at Oliver’s Marketplace! This special event will bring together a curated mix of vintage, antique, and unique vendors for an amazing weekend of shopping inside the Great Lakes Mall.
