Vendors Needed for Field, Hearth & Home Show
Safe Boating Instructor Honored
Vendors related to sporting, recreation, home activities, clubs, organizations, hobbyists, and collectibles are needed to participate in the Field, Hearth and Home Show on March 9 and 10, 2013, at the Owego Treadway Inn in Owego. Vendors can show their products and offer them for sale to attendees. For the second year, the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce and the United Way are partnering in a celebration of all that makes Tioga County, Tioga County. The Field, Hearth & Home Trade Show is a high-quality expo that is open to the public. Admission is only $5.00 per person, and children under 12 are free. Last year, booths featured sporting and recreational activities including hunting, fishing, taxidermy,
kayaking, and camping. Wildlife art, woodcarving, soap making, quilting, local food favorites, and other activities also represented the rural Tioga lifestyle. If you provide a service or have products for sale, this show is a lowcost opportunity to advertise your business and increase your visibility in the county. Booths are only $50-$75 depending on space size, and spaces are available on a first-come, first served basis. For more information and an application to have a booth at the show, contact the Tioga United Way at 6874028 or Tioga County Chamber of Commerce at 687-2020. Or go to the Tioga United Way website to register online at www.tiogaunitedway.com.
