“We are working to find vendors for the event,” Woody added, including craft makers and independent retailers of LuLaRoe, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Scentsy, and others.
The cost for a vendor space is $25 or $20 if you participated last year.
“We will limit the number of vendors we have for each type of item so it will be first come, first serve for space,” Woody said.
She added that there will also be a Kids Zone with bounce houses and a video game truck,and there will be food available.
Everyone who attends will be eligible to enter a free raffle, with the prizes including two tickets to Hospice’s signature Dancing with the Stars fundraiser — which brought in around $60,000 last year — and season tickets for the Richmond Senior High School football games in the fall.
Woody said she hopes to have other prizes available.
“We want it to be a family friendly day that everyone enjoys!” she said.
