Dear Merchants and Antique Dealers,
Welcome to one of the most successful Marts in which you can participate!
The Holiday Mart is a three-day Merchant’s market featuring, gifts, antiques, accessories and decorative items for the holidays and throughout the year. This event serves as the major fund-raising effort by the Mothers’ Club for USJ. The 2010 Mart will open with a Preview Party the evening of November 18, 2010. Mart days will be November 19, 20, and 21, 2010.
Booth space opportunities are outlined in the following pages and will be assigned, as always, on a first come, first served basis as determined by dates of deposit and balance receipt.

*** One of Jackson’s most commonly mentioned assets is its central location between Memphis on the west and Nashville on the east. It is within a day’s drive of 76% of America’s major markets.
With its ability to serve as a hub for thirteen counties, Jackson is considered among the top 100 retail markets in the country. The main force driving this success can be found in the enormous base of customers in these counties that comprise Jackson’s primary trade area. This primary trade boasts a population of nearly 600,000 and a retail sales base of $1.9 billion!
Within the state of Tennessee, Jackson ranks 1st in metropolitan areas for population growth and 2nd in restaurant growth and sales.
Jackson’s Carl Perkins Civic Center is the home for the state’s preliminary pageant for the Miss America pageant. This makes it a familiar landmark for much of West Tennessee.
