SWCD now is reserving spots for interested vendors. Vendors may sell any agricultural product produced on their farm, as well as home-baked goods and handmade crafts. Three different fees and space sizes allow for small and large vendors. Spots are to be filled first-come, first-served and early reservations can get more publicity.
