Home and Cottage Expo 2025

Marketplace vendors will be outdoors in the front parking lot alongside commercial vendors and kids' activities including pony rides, rock wall, bean bag toss, and more! The outdoor vendor area will be fenced for paid entry access only and will be the main entrance to the show.

All Marketplace vendors must provide a tent with sides (if possible). All tents must be weighted down with either sandbags or water jugs. We CANNOT spike into the pavement.  Each vendor will be provided one 6' table and 2 chairs and will be available upon arrival. 

The outside vendor space will be fenced and the main entrance will be contained within this space creating a flow of traffic to the main entrance.

Entrance fees this year are $5 for adults and kids 12 and under are free.
