🚨 Spring Market Vendor Update – Please Read 🚨
We are excited about the upcoming Gladstone Spring Market and want to share an important reminder for all vendors:
✅ There are ONLY two official ways to become a vendor:
1️⃣ Register in person at the Gladstone Community Center
2️⃣ Register and pay directly through the official City of Gladstone website
❌ We will NEVER ask vendors to:
• Send payment through social media
• Respond to comments asking you to “PM for details”
• Register through third-party links or personal messages
Unfortunately, there are scams circulating where individuals pose as event organizers. Please do not engage with or send money to anyone claiming otherwise.
If you see a comment asking vendors to message them or offering vendor spots, it is not legitimate.
📍 If you have questions, please contact the Gladstone Community Center directly or use the City of Gladstone’s official website.
Thank you for helping us keep this event safe, organized, and successful—we can’t wait to see you at the Spring Market!
