Explanation of application: This application is one application for Junktiquen but serves two events. The vendor line ups are different for each show. ln the beginning, itwas encouraged to complete two separate applications, but later lwas directed to complete one application since ihe events are both Junk-tiquen but held at two different times. As of the date the application is due, we have not yet held our fall show for this year so the budget for 2024 is not complete. Not all costs are in nor any income for the fall show. lt appears that the year is at a loss, but it will not end up that way. lmportance of the Grant: The grant has played a crucial role in our success, enabling us to expand our advertising effotts and enhance the overall experience.
