HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE NAUTICAL BAZAAR?

Quote from Bob & Beth Turner, Producers… AKA: The Nauti-Navigator and the Shady Lady:

"Ahoy Mateys… Here is how we would describe the experience... Imagine entering another historic and fantastical time and space... Our goal is to creatively distance all visitors from their normal everday lives and transport them into a zone of nautical magical adventurous fun and exciting festivities for the weekend! This second-year event is double the size and double the fun of our first year and will be held inside the beautiful Sandusky County Fairgrounds in Fremont, OH... This is home base for what we call the NAUTICAL BAZAAR - You will enter the Bazaar through an iconic Pirate Arch surrounded by Iron Gates at the North end of the Fairgrounds and walk the wooden plank where you will ring the ships bell alerting the Captain and/or Crew of your arrival. Once you are granted permission you will be allowed to explore the marketplace and all its hidden treasures... which will include Nautical and Pirate Merchants of all kinds... Artists, Leather and Metal Works, Clothiers, Trinkets and Treasures, Sweet Treats and food-a-plenty. There is plenty of shade, areas to sit, air-conditioned buildings and more! We are currently accepting applications for merchants, vendors, artists, entertainers, food booths, etc... that might like to join us. We are jurying all submissions... so we have a nice variety of items. All merchants must offer some form of nautical, pirate or historical items, decorate their booth and dress like pirates or nautical characters for the weekend.”booth and dress like pirates or nautical characters for the weekend".

We are accepting applications in the following categories and plan to have a wide variety of nautical, pirate, historical and family fun merchants on-site that day.
