There will be entertainment and door prizes provided by various organizations.
At this time, vendors are invited to register for the event. Please contact (352) 754-1132 to register. The vendor fee is $10. We also ask that each vendor bring a door prize. Some agency registrations to date include: Affordable Health Care (information re health care insurance), Alzheimer’s Family Organization, Division of Blind Services, Vanda Pharmaceuticals, United Healthcare, VIST (Visual Impairment Services Team for Veterans), Zounds Hearing, and the LifeSouth Blood Mobile. This year we are very fortunate to also have Home Depot coming with their kids craft center.
