Not only is vendor registration open for the St. Marks Stone Crab Festival 2010, Vendor Chair Mickey Cantner said, “Vendors need to get their registration in early because we are expecting more than 150 vendors this year.”

And, she added, “To accommodate the growing number of vendors and visitors, we are increasing the actual area for shopping.  We will be opening the main street (Port Leon Drive) for vendor use."

More than 10,000 visitors are expected this year to enjoy music, shopping, and best of all, stone crabs.  Vendor James Moore of Marie’s Shark and Alligator of Georgia said, “Last year was my first time and I didn’t expect the large turnout.  But this year I’m prepared and bringing more meat – 400 lbs. of alligator plus 70 lbs of shark.  It was a tremendous success for us.”

The October 23 festival runs from 10 am – 6 pm.  Portions of the festival’s profits go to the St. Marks Waterfronts Florida Partnership and the St. Marks Volunteer Fire Department.  The festival is a 501.c3 Non Profit Corporation.

Interested vendors should contact Mickey Cantner at (850) 567-0157 or email smstonecrab12@hotmail.com as soon as possible.  For general festival information, please contact Mike and Glenda Pruitt at (850) 925-1053.
