Madison Odd Market
ApriL 10th, 2021
Greetings Vendors and patrons,
I know this is not the message you were hoping to receive, and this is probably the hardest one I have ever written. We have been in talks with the Crucible and with Dane County now scaling back the mandates and everything once again, we can not in good conscience move forward this year with Madison Odd Market. I will not risk my vendors lives, or our attendees. And now my hands are tied even if I wanted to since Dane County Restrictions. This pains me more then anything as I have been running events for years, as well as being a vendor for years. It is always hard being a first time event, to have to postpone anything.
So vendors please see your email. If you did not receive one email madamcorasemporium@gmail.com
I am not giving up on this, I am a one woman wrecking crew. So I appreciate your patience that you have shown me all this time. I also apologize for my lack of communication, as I am also a single mother and this whole year has been a struggle.

WE ARE POSTPONING! Date set is just tentative.
It is official. Wisconsin has banned all gatherings of 10 people or more until further notice. We are not canceling the event, only postponing it until further notice. I hope that we will be in the clear by either May or June to do this.
Once this ban is lifted, the people are going to need some shopping therapy, and this is one of the fastest growing events I have ever seen. When we do get a date set again, all my vendors will have the chance to accept the new date, or I will provide a refund for your fees. But please bear with me in the mean time.
I just got done running a full weekend convention, and we got hit hard. We were able to make it in under the wire, and still had people out to it, but I barely broke even. I am a one woman wrecking crew.
In the mean time, I am going to be working on a page on the website where I will post all of your logos and links to help drive sales during this down time. So if you haven't sent me that info please do so. I am going to try and just push the facebook event date out to a tentative one so I don't have to start all over since we are at almost 1,500 people who have said they were interested or going so far. I do not want to lose momentum as much as possible.
So that is a state of the state as of right now. I will keep everyone posted as I can. I am working closely with Crucible to get this even back on the ground as soon as possible. Once I get the posts and things going for the vendors, please keep sharing, let's help each other out. Together we can get through this.
