PTO Vendor Fair (Marketplace)
A very special thank you to our Vendors, Student Vendors, Food Trucks and attendees for making our 2024 Vendor Fair event a huge success. We had over 50 booths, and about 350 attendees! We're already looking forward to next year!
Thank you to KGUN9 for highlighting our event and our Student Vendors!
The Gladden Farms PTO Vendor Fair is a public event where we invite local crafters, small businesses, and vendors to showcase and sell their products. Our Vendor Fair is held both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting). Vendor booths are set up in our cafeteria, indoor hallways, under our Ramada, and on our basketball court. The PTO is proud to have hosted several vendor fairs over the last few years; each time we have received amazing feedback from the community and our vendors.
