Retail Vendors

We’re excited that you're interested in joining us at the Elbert County Fair! "The Mercantile" is our amazing shopping event during the fair, taking place during the last three days, August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We would love for you to be a part of it! We aim to feature a diverse selection of local artisans, specialty foods, and incredible clothing to create a truly memorable shopping experience. We also have spacing outside for informational booths or retail trailers (depending on size!) If you decide to apply, your application will play an important role in our excitement, and we want to make the process as easy as possible for you.
Please note that your application will be reviewed based on factors like space availability, your space requirements, and the variety of products offered by other vendors.

Don’t forget to include a current photo of your display area to complete your application. If you’re selected as a vendor, you’ll receive a link with all the details and a payment link to finalize your participation!
