We strive to create a fun, unique and creative Fair therefore our vendor selection process is juried! We look for vendors that showcase unique and appealing products and services. Our exhibitors should provide customers with an exceptional shopping experience.  We are looking for vendors that showcase the following:

• Clean, professional and aesthetically pleasing booth displays that are easily navigated.
• Product uniqueness and appeal.
• Professional staff appearance.
• Quality products and services
• Professional references

While vendors are not allowed to choose spaces themselves, we are excited to work with you to choose a space that showcases your product/service. We have many years of experience with vendor and product placement to ensure you have a successful event. 

There is no deadline, applications are accepted until spaces are full.
