It seemed out of place to put this directly in the Merchants Guild thread, so I am going to try and compile it here.
Information for Vendors (as compiled out of the Q&A in the Octfest thread):
Merchants
How much is booth space?
- $50, both for pre-registration and at the gate. There is no difference in price based on how many days you are attending.
How can I pre-register?
- Visit this website: Edhellen. (Pre-registration ended October 3rd).
What information do I need to give for registration?
- Your first and last name, your fighting name, and your booth name.
What does the vendor fee include?
- Entry for one person, vendor booth space, and a vendor certificate that must be displayed in your booth. You will also be allowed to camp behind merchant's row.
What must I provide as a vendor?
- Your own tent, whatever you are selling (obviously), and any additional accouterments such as tables/etc for your booth space.
Are there electrical and water hookups?
- Yes.
Is there a list of vendors that will be there?
- No.

Some detail about the site:
The Merchants Row is actually located on the road directly across from the beach and around the corner from the fighting field. The power outlets are 150 feet behind Merchants Row, and water comes from a three way spigot about that same distance behind. There is also camping space readily available behind Merchants Row, but only one or two fire pits. The 'Row comfortably accommodated the four merchants there 4 out of 5 days, but one additional booth set up on Saturday and was sort of squeezed in in front of a burned out tree stump and almost in front of the lone cabin off to the side.
Details about set up:
There is no guide to setting up. You don't get a booth number, location, or anything. You just go and set up wherever in that area suits you best/isn't taken.
