The Junior League of Athens is proud to present The Marketplace: A Holiday Shopping Extravaganza! We are excited to host the event at a new venue in 2010, the Georgia Center for Continuing Education! We are also looking forward to new special events including a Marketplace Holiday Brunch.
The Junior League of Athens is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. The Marketplace was created to be a major fundraiser for the League’s community projects.
The League is accepting applications from local and regional merchants for The Marketplace at the Georgia Center, November 19-21, 2010. Shoppers will enjoy a wide selection of merchandise and special events throughout the weekend. There will be Preview Shopping, a Holiday Brunch and Silent Auction, pictures with Santa, and many other exciting events throughout the weekend. All proceeds from the event will be used to support the Junior League’s focus area of Women, Children and Poverty.
We are offering multiple booth sizes, ranging from 5’x8’ to 10’x20’ with prices starting at $250. In our new venue, booths will be placed throughout the Georgia Center, in the Mahler Auditorium, Pecan Tree Galleria and Hill Atrium.
