You are invited, if interested, to have a 10’x10’ exhibit space (Bring Your Own Table/Tent) on the Slater Mill grounds to promote your organization and educate our attendees about all of the great and hard work that you do. We do ask that if you choose to bring a tent, it is no larger than a 10’x10’ and that is safely secured to the ground. Your tent may either be on asphalt or grass so please plan accordingly.
