registration and advertisement. Our merchantcrat for on-site needs is to be
announced. If you are thinking about merchanting at Foxes, please take a moment to
read the Foxes Merchant Guidelines as linked above. This document will provide
you with great information about our event as well as the guidelines for
participation.
This year, The Marketplace at Foxes will be set
up near the fighting field to allow ample browsing opportunities for our
