Business/Organization registration

Deadline to Register: July 14th

The business marketplace is an area for local businesses/organizations to connect face-to-face with community members, sell non-art related products, do a giveaway (we ask that you try to use recyclable, reusable, or compostable items to giveaway), and/or provide an activity related to their business. This area will be separate from the makers market and is intended for individuals or groups to market their businesses and services!  Not sure whether you should register for the makers market or business marketplace?
