600+ Vendors a Year: What This Event Coordinator Wants New Vendors to Know

I sat down with the coordinator behind one of Central Pennsylvania's favorite craft events — someone who manages over 600 vendors a year — to hear straight from her what new vendors should understand before they show up. We talk about how the event runs, how they bring in both vendors and visitors, what she values in her vendor community, and what she'd like newer vendors to learn from the seasoned ones — including the kinds of tents experienced vendors use and how they set them up. She also shares a tip or two for anyone thinking about getting into event coordination themselves. Plus we walk the grounds, catch a working steam engine in action, and soak in what makes Central PA craft events worth showing up for. 💬 Have you vended at a multi-day event?
