If your business supports healthy lifestyles\, we want you to be part of our effort. Please see the following guidelines of how to participate in our fair:\n\n \n\n          Vendors must have a representative at their booth at all times (8   noon) \n\n          A 6' table and 2 chairs will be provided for each vendor along with a colorful table cloth. You may bring your own table cloth to promote your services if desired.\n\n          Vendors will have an opportunity to capture the names of attendees at their booths. \n\n          In lieu of a fee\, we ask that each vendor contribute a door prize valued at $50 or greater that we can give out during the fair.\n\n          All vendor booths need to be interactive. We don't want our fair to be a place where people collect paper pamphlets. We want it to be a place that our audience leaves feeling like they can take active steps to making a change. Your booth will be most effective if you can think of a creative way to interact with those stopping by.\n\n          If you are a food vendor\, please be prepared to offer only healthy choices. \n\n          We'd like a variety of vendors and are encouraging all forms of vendors to join us to help the mind body and spirits of our target audiences. \n\n \n\nIf you are interested in being a vendor in the 2014 Heart Healthy Health Fair or would like more information about the event\, please email me\, Julie Hollingsworth\,  at Julie.Hollingsworth@bmhcc.org.
