(Jan. 5, 2017) Snow Hill hosts 11 First Fridays per year, with January as the off month, allowing the town and the arts and entertainment district, which both sponsor the events, to evaluate how things are going.
“In the past, the town has charged street vendors a $25 fee, and in keeping with what’s going on in Berlin and Salisbury, we’ve decided to suspend that fee,” Ann Gibb, grant administrator for the town, said.
Gibb, with economic development coordinator Michael Day, run the arts and entertainment district.
“It’s subject to change, but we want to draw more vendors, and more people, to encourage more traffic downtown,” she said.
However, the town does not want people to just show up at the next First Friday, scheduled for Feb. 3, and set up shop.
“We do want street vendors to register with the town about a week before the event,” she said.
Registration is free, and is accomplished by contacting either Gibb or Day directly at Town Hall at 410-632-2080.
