Chelan County Fair announces special vendor spots for local nonprofits

Leavenworth, WALocal News

The Chelan County Fair is set to take place from September 4–7, 2025, and has announced a special initiative aimed at supporting local nonprofit organizations. This year, nonprofits can secure a vendor space for only $25, a significant discount from the standard fee of $150 for a 10-foot by 10-foot booth. This reduced rate includes one vendor pass, making it more accessible for organizations to engage with the community. For booths requiring more than one person, additional vendor passes are available for purchase. Nonprofits must still acquire liability insurance, which can be obtained through the Chelan County Liability Program.

Organizers expressed their dedication to giving back to the nonprofit community, allowing them to share their messages and the valuable work they do. Each nonprofit is responsible for providing their own tent, tables, and chairs, ensuring they meet fair regulations. Interested parties can find more information and apply on the Fair's official website.
