Chelan County Fair announces special vendor spots for local nonprofits

CASHMERE — The Chelan County Fair, held this year from September 4–7, has announced they will be offering vendor spaces for nonprofit charitable organizations at a drastically reduced price.

A basic 10-foot by 10-foot vendor space normally goes for $150 at the Fair, but this year, nonprofits only will be offered that size space for just $25. That price includes the space and a vendor pass for one person, so if you have a booth that can be manned by a single person, that will get you the space and the entry fee.

For booths requiring more than one person to staff, additional vendor passes are available for $14 (for the entire event) or $10 per day. The booth fee remains just $25, no matter how many are staffing it.

Even nonprofit vendors must still get liability insurance, with the Chelan County Fair listed as the co-insured. The Chelan County Liability Program offers that insurance for $165 for the event, or you can go through your own insurance agent.

Nonprofits will have to bring their own tent, which must be weighted down, as well as tables and chairs.

“This is our way of giving back — giving our nonprofit community groups an opportunity to spread their messages and the good they do,” said event organizers in a social media announcement.

To reserve your space, simply fill out the application available on the Fair’s website at https://www.chelancountyfair.com/pages/article/become-a-vendor and mark that you’re a nonprofit and won’t be selling anything at the Fair.

For questions, you can contact the Fair Office from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday at 509-782-3232.
