This event supports the Paper City Mentoring Project. Every penny from vendor fees, ticket sales, and donations that day support PCMP.

You can learn more about PCMP here: papercitymentoringproject.org

This year we will separate applications by genre and choose vendors from each category by considering the following:

• Handmade or locally assembled products. The Maker Fair will not feature direct sales products (Beauty Counter, Young Living, Color Street, etc).
• Uniqueness of products compared to other applicants in the same genre
• You are able to provide quality photos of your work either with a social media link, a website link, or in emailed photos.
• If you are offering pre-packaged edible products, we are able to see evidence that your product is of high quality.
• If you’ve been a vendor at a previous Maker Fair, you complied with deadlines.

We anticipate a record number of applicants, and it’s important to us to make sure we select vendors who are the best fit for our market.

Applications Open:  Now!
Applications Close:  Midnight, July 17
Decision Emails Sent:  July 20

Link to application is at the bottom of this page.

Nope! However, we recommend you bring one to stay in the shade. September afternoons can be toasty!

The Maker Fair on September 5th 

Booth/Vendor – $70 – event entry

These fees are a tax-deductible donation to Paper City Mentoring Project and help us continue to match local teens with trained mentors, give incentives for teens to meet with their mentor and meet goals, and provide engaging activities for mentor/mentee pairs to do in the community.

*This year we will do our best to feature every participating vendor on our social media pages as long as quality photos are provided.

All selected vendors will receive an invoice for payment via email.

If you have questions, contact our team: themakerfairatpapercity@papercitymentoringproject.org

In order to secure your spot, all payment will be due by Monday, July 27, 2026

We will not provide tables and chairs this year. Each vendor will have a 10’x 10′ space to display their products. Vendors are permitted (and encouraged) to bring a canopy that fits in that space.

We have reserved use of the parking lot directly across Paper City Coffee (47 S. Paint St.). Parking there and along Paint St. is your best bet!

There is also parking indicated in RED in the map below.

Set up should be easier this year because we will have vendors set up on both sides of 4th street, which means we will have a smaller space.

We will assign booth stations which will be included in your confirmation email.

Some vendors donate a portion of their proceeds from the event to PCMP. Checks can be payable to Paper City Mentoring Project, or you can use the same PayPal link you used to pay your vendor fee.
