Small Business / Informational Vendors

Small Business Vendors
Small business vendors are product-based entrepreneurs, makers, or retailers who sell physical goods at their booth during the event. This includes handmade crafts, apparel, accessories, home décor, skincare, art, jewelry, gifts, and other market-ready merchandise. Vendors must bring their own display setup (tent, tables, signage, chairs, etc.) and be prepared to operate for the full event duration.

Informational Vendors
Informational vendors are service-based professionals and community resource providers who are not selling a product on-site, but instead offering education, outreach, or client services. This category includes realtors, insurance agents, mortgage loan officers, home improvement/remodeling companies, healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and community programs.

Informational vendors may:

• Distribute brochures, business cards, or promotional items
