[top] Information For Vendors:
We will be having a tremendous vendor area at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds beginning Monday June 11 thru Friday June 15. All vendor booths will be inside the main gate and have easy access and will be within view of the main show ring and outdoor grooming areas. New this year will be our "Vendor-for-a-Day". This will allow vendors to rent space for a single day, and well as to keep interest in the vendor area high with new merchants to seek out and their wares to peruse! Vendors fully registered by April 1 will have their name and a brief synopsis of their services placed on the 2007 Specialty website. Register for booth space by submitting the application form along with payment. [The application form will be available for download soon.] All Premium spaces have been reserved. We have plenty of our regular spaces available on a first come - first served basis. Space assignment and confirmation will occur during the first week of April. All requests for space after April 3 will be assigned to the ends of the vendor area as available. Spaces will be assigned on a first paid, first assigned basis with 2 premium spaces at the main entrance available at a special rate!
