Three Days Out!!

We are three days away from show time! Set up starts on Friday. All vendors should have received a letter or email with their booth location, entrance places and their set up time. If you haven't received that OR have any questions..please please contact me via email. This is a much easier contact avenue. You will receive a quicker response!

I have attached a link to the public vendor list. This provides the booth # and the product type provided!! We are up to about 110 vendors as of right now and still accepting more!

CIL 2013 Vendor List

We are very excited to see all vendors and customers this year at our 28th annual Christmas In Lithia!

Booth Locations, set-up times & advertisement!

Booth locations and set-up times have gone out! One half went out yesterday and the other half will go out today! Please be on the look out. If for some reason you find a mistake or information that is missing PLEASE PLEASE submit it an email. This will be the easiest way for me to get back to you in a timely manner. Give the USPS a couple of days to get it to you. I think it would be safe to say that if you do not have your letter by Monday then you should contact Brittney Bentley at xmasinlithia@gmail.com

You should also see advertisement in a few local papers. We have placed ads in the Chapel Hill News & Views as well as the Villa Rica News & Views. Ads will also run in the Douglas County Sentinel & the Times Georgia four times between now and November 8th. The first ad should've been in there October 28th.

Anyone on Facebook wanting to post feel free!! Encourage your friends to share your posting as well! We'd really love to have a great turn out this year!!

We ARE still accepting vendors so please spread the word!!!

Be looking out for future posts as we will attached the public vendor list to this site soon!

CIL Advertising

Good Afternoon "Christmas In Lithia" Vendors!

CIL is looking for suggestions for places to advertise for our show between now and November 9th!

As of right now we run ads in the Chapel Hill News & Views as well as the Villa Rica News and Views. They made facebook postings about it this afternoon. We also ran an ad in the Student/Parent guide that all of our students take home to their parents in the county.

I am currently looking to run an ad in the Douglas County Sentinel as well...

If you have any suggestions, we would gladly take them and look to pursue them. If anyone is interested in taking flyers to their churches or put them in their place of business please let me know and I will forward you one of our ads!

Send any suggestions/thoughts to our email xmasinlithia@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post!

We look forward to hearing from you!!

Internet Access at Christmas In Lithia

We are 63 days out!

We've heard and we've listened! Lots of vendors from last year have expressed that due to not having any service in the building, they couldn't use their credit card machines on their phones. We have talked to Douglas County and they are going to give us access to the school internet for that weekend. BUT there is a catch. Each individual requesting to have access to the internet must fill out a county request form. This form also sends you to our county website to read the policy on accessing our internet.

If you would like to gain access to our internet please print the form (link to form is below) and send it back in to myself at P.O. Box 102 Lithia Springs, GA 30122-0102.

Internet Request Form

Douglas County Policy IFBG & Regulation IFBG-R


I must have this form at least two weeks before the show!

CIL Internet Disclosure

Please remember that providing internet is a first time thing for us here at Christmas in Lithia and there MAY be glitches. We are working to have our tech man at school during the weekend to assist in any problems but that is not guaranteed yet. The problem may also be something that he won't have access to fix. This will be a learning year for us but we will work hard to help in any way we can.
