I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be wood bat vendors at the WWBA tournament in Marietta, Georgia this year?

I would say yes they should have some wood bats for sale.

Usually at the main fields not the multitude of remote sites. And you will pay a premium. If you've never been to WWBA, there is a good chance you will not play at the main EC fields. My son played on teams for 3 different events and only played at EC once.
There's a major bat distributor in the Marietta area that has a warehouse of bats (1,000's of them). Don't know the fella, but his company is betterbaseball.com. He helped some of our team members get new wood bats after we broke more than expected during a tournament in that area.
You can count on a vendor being there. Lots of kids have to buy one mid-game after they break one!
It is true that a smaller and smaller % of games are at the main complex, due to the ever-increasing size of the tournament. We did have good experience, though, with scouts following our team to the more remote games. Hopefully your team's coach will hustle to keep scouts posted as to locations and times, but a player should be prepared to do that himself in order to avoid any possibility of being missed just through miscommunication. Esp. if you start getting rainouts and reschedulings, which are pretty much a given during thunderstorm season in GA.

Baum bat is by far the best composite out there. I have used Baum for 5 years and have tried the Demarini but Baum Bats pop and durability out does the Demarini. I used my first Baum Bat for 2 years and it never lost pop or broke. I ended up selling it in order to get a new bigger one. They are perfectly weighted and not barrel heavy and DO NOT BREAK!!! They can be used up to AAA and even though they are more expensive then your average wood bat they are worth it since they do not break, have amazing pop, and can be used in batting practice and games.
