Please support their businesses as they continuously support us. See a complete list of these generous sponsors in our prize book. Become a vendor! Without a midway or beer garden, we find that the guests at the fair take the time to view the vendor booths and take advantage of the leisurely pace to talk to exhibitors. It is an unhurried time where people of all ages find something of interest. Perhaps this year, what will interest them the most, is your display! Sign up to be a vendor this year by downloading our sign-up form in PDF format.
