food Vendor

The Fair chooses replacements for vendors of the previous year who will not be returning or adds vendors if an expansion is decided upon. The goal is to offer fairgoers a wide variety of good food at a reasonable price. When reviewing applications, attention is focused on food service experience, simplicity of preparation, cost to the fairgoer, booth plans, and especially the menu. Include those topics in a cover letter which will explain why your operation would be attractive to the fairgoer. You may include pictures or other information. There is no application fee.

New applications due 12/31.

Non-Food Vendor

As we receive the required deposit and application you will be categorized according to what you wish to do at the Fair and/or products you intend to sell (example: clothing, household products, jewelry, novelties, crafts, etc.). Since it is our intention to maintain a product balance for the fairgoers, new vendors are selected first with an eye towards originality of product or idea and then the order of receipt of the application. You may include pictures or other information.

There is no deadline for new applications, however the sooner we receive your application – the better your chances.

Daily Vendor Space

NO FOOD VENDORS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THE DAILY PROGRAM.

We are no longer accepting one-day vendor applications.

See you at the Fair!

All spaces are approximately 10’ x 10’ and are covered overhead by the eaves of the Farm Building. All are on firm dirt or pavement.

Make your booth accesible to everyone!

People with accessible needs represent a significant portion of the population and are equally reflective in the number of guests attending the Fair.

Vendors must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act so that there are no architectural or communications barriers that could restrict access of any individuals to products and services.

Always consider the full experience of your display from all perspectives, such as sitting, standing, or without sight or hearing. If your booth requires a ramp for access you may have to set your booth farther from the pavement or lower the booth to accommodate a functional ramp. It’s your responsibility to give clear instructions to anyone placing your booth in the leased space.
