🚨 **Lakeside Maker and Collectors Market: Vendor Registration Update!** 🚨

The countdown is on! Official vendor registration for the 1st Annual Lakeside Maker and Collectors Market officially opens this Sunday, June 21st.

We are proud to announce that this event is proudly co-hosted by Bright Bits Resin and Crit Happens Co.!

Here is everything you need to know to secure your spot:

📍 Location: St. Luke's Parish Hall, 1382 Ontario Street, Burlington, Ontario
📅 Market Hours: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
⏰ Vendor Setup: 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
⏰ Vendor Teardown: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📧 How to Apply: Applications will be sent out directly to pre-registered vendors. To get your application, email us at [email protected].

---

⚠️ **CRITICAL SECURITY & OFFICIAL CONTACT INFO** ⚠️
Please stay vigilant against scammers! Darrell Fritz is the absolute SOLE point of contact for this event.

* Official Communications Only: Official forms, updates, and payment instructions will only come directly from Darrell Fritz or via email from [email protected].
* Official Phone Lines: If you need to verify or reach out directly, you can call the official Bright Bits Resin line at 647-491-9198, or alternatively at 289-544-7058.
* Ignore & Report Comments: If you see anyone in the comment section claiming to have open spots, posting alternative sign-up links, or asking for payment via private message, it is a scam.
* Help Us Ban Them: Do not engage with these accounts. Instead, reach out to Darrell Fritz directly to report them so we can have them immediately blocked, banned from the page, and permanently removed from the local groups they are trying to infiltrate.

👉 People work way too damn hard for their money. Scammers who use AI and automation in a negative way give a bad name to honest makers who rely on these digital tools to grow small businesses with limited resources. We are doing everything we can to change that and keep our community safe!

---

🎨 **Category Updates: Who We Are Looking For**
Our community has shown incredible support, and some of our vendor categories are already completely packed!

❌ CLOSED CATEGORIES: Jewelry & Crochet Items (Full)
✨ OPEN CATEGORIES: We are actively looking for vendors offering Collectibles, Clothing/Apparel, and Food, Jams, & Preserves!

🎁 Vendor Perk: Once your application is approved and payment is safely received, you will be sent an official digital vendor banner to share on your social media pages to announce your spot at the market!

---

🥫 **Supporting Our Community: Food for Life Donation**
For all of our patrons and guests, we will be hosting a voluntary donation drive for the Food for Life program at the event.

This time of year is incredibly tough for local food programs—with everyone heading out to the cottage or away on vacation, donations typically drop off right when the community needs them most. So many local families rely on this program. We ask everyone to please check your cupboards before heading out and bring along a non-perishable donation to help us support our neighbors!

---

📢 **We Need Your Help: Share This Post!**
While we have a dedicated advertising budget ready to launch once registration officially kicks off, real community success relies on word of mouth.

We need every single maker, collector, friend, and neighbor to hit that share button! By sharing this post, you help us bring in the crowds, support small local businesses, and make this a massive success for Burlington. Let's spread the word!

Standard registration closes on July 15th, 2026. Reach out to [email protected] to secure your application for this Sunday!
