The Rail Trail Expo will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2013 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the White Oak Rail Trail. Vendor spaces are $20.00 per space and this will give you 12 feet of frontage on the rail trail. You may have more than one space if needed. Set up will be on Saturday morning at 6 AM. Deadline to register is Wednesday, May 1st, 2013. TABLES AND CHAIRS ARE NOT PROVIDED.
The committee is looking for retail businesses, service providers, organizations, and individuals to participate. Businesses can sell their products, do demonstrations, or just show off what you do, organizations can use this as a fundraising event or to promote awareness about what your organization. As an individual, you can bring items to flea market or have a yard sale! Vendors will be set up on the White Oak Rail Trail as far as we can go so that people can walk the rail trail and shop. We are hoping to have entertainment at the White Oak Depot throughout the day, as well as events along different points of the trail for any children attending.
