Cape
May Court House - The Cape May County 4-H Fair Foundation is seeking
vendors for the 2019 4-H Fair. There are a variety of ways for vendors to
participate at this year’s 4-H Fair scheduled for July 18, 19 and 20. Lisa
McVey, 4-H Fair Vendor Chair, said, “A vendor can participate one day or all
three days depending on their schedule and their budget.” Applications
are available for exhibit space at the Cape May County 4-H Fair
for commercial and food concessions, non-profit fundraisers or educational
displays. “The 4-H Fair Committee is seeking vendors who offer family friendly novelties, quality crafts and goods to
feature on the 16 acres of tree-shaded fairgrounds,” added McVey. The 4-H
fairgrounds are located at 355 Court House – S. Dennis Road in Cape May Court
House, New Jersey.
The
annual event is a county tradition that offers family entertainment, live
music, a nightly Chicken BBQ, and much more. Vendors are encouraged to
become part of the 4-H County Fair tradition. The 4-H Fair is a great
opportunity for new vendors to experience a quality county fair with three-day
affordable commercial vendor fees that include basic electricity and start at
$130. If you can only attend on Saturday, July 20, a one-day vendor
permit is available for just $75.
New
this year, separate food concession contracts are available for vendors who
sell just one item and for those who offer a variety of fair foods.
The
public hours for the 2019 Cape May County 4-H Fair are noon to 9 p.m. on
Thursday, July 18 and Friday, July 19 and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July
