We try to make it easy to exhibit at NC Trail Days, but there are a few rules:

 

• All exhibitors must provide their own displays, tents, tables and chairs. Sand bags should accompany all tents for stability in case of high winds. If an activity is provided all necessary equipment is the responsibility of the exhibitor.

• All exhibitors must participate during the entire festival vending hours on Saturday 1:00 - 6:00 PM
