Another scam is circulating in regards to the Fall Festival coming up in October. This particular email came from a person named Emily Taylor but could use any name. They claim to take Cash App, Pay Pal or Chime for payment. The only way to register for the fall festival is through an application on Keosauqua.com or at Hotel Manning in person. Please contact Joy at Hotel Manning if you have questions about vendor space or any other information on the event itself. DO NOT SEND MONEY THROUGH ANY APPS! The email looks like the following:
I’m handling the vendor coordination and registration process for the event, so you can communicate directly with me regarding vendor spaces, registration, event information, and general vendor questions.
Event Location
The festival takes place in Keosauqua, Iowa. The specific vendor area and placement details, including setup instructions and arrival information, will be provided to confirmed vendors as part of the registration process.
Contact Information
For vendor questions and registration, please communicate with me by email. At this time, I’m handling vendor communications through email, which allows me to keep all registration information, questions, and confirmations organized and documented.
Your friend is welcome to email me directly with her questions as well, or you can pass this email along to her and I’ll be happy to assist her.
If you could also send me your business name, type of products or food you’ll be offering, preferred booth size, and whether you need electricity, I can provide the appropriate information for your setup.
Thank you again for your interest in the Keosauqua Fall Festival. I look forward to helping you and your friend with the vendor arrangements.
Best regards,
Emily
