This event is designed to give veteran artisans a place to showcase and sell their creations, veteran businesses a place to sell their wares, and veterans to network with the many support groups out there who give back to them! It will be a place where the community can come support these veterans and support groups and take valuable information back to their loved ones on programs available to them.
Follow the event on Facebook to learn more as we add vendors and if you are interested in being a vendor reach out to Kendra at 717-587-6563 or kendrar@ptd.net.
It is a free event to attend but we ask that when attending you consider a donation to Stocking for Soldiers (see list below) or a monetary donation that will go right back into veteran support organizations.
Let’s make this a success and continue to grow it into an annual event. Be sure to look through the discussion link for vendors and folks attending!
