Vendors can begin registering next week for the 2016 season of the Litchfield Picker's Market. Due to the success of the first season of the market featuring antique and vintage items, it will return for another season, April through October. Litchfield Tourism Coordinator Sarah Waggoner says they received great feedback from the vendors all season.

They really love coming to our market. I know most people, this year, have told me they want to sign up for every one for this season. They love that all the items are prior to 1980 - that's really the key for our specialized market, so if you're looking for quality vintage items and antiques, you need to come to Litchfield. It's really the place for one stop shop for all these items (and) we're really excited to have it back. I know I have entertainment lined up for the whole season already, so that's really exciting as well, and I have all the information posted online.

The full entertainment schedule, registration forms and market guidelines can be found on the Litchfield Tourism website or forms can be picked up in person at the Litchfield Tourism Office at 120 East Ryder Street. For more information, contact the Tourism Office at (217) 324-8147. Vendor registration begins at 10am on Monday. Spaces for vendors run on a first come first serve basis. The market will again be held from 9am to 3pm on the second Sunday of the month, beginning April 10th.Thomack 2/12/16
