Reminder, CADCOM is still soliciting vendors for their Community Day to be held at Oak St (Simmons) Park on June 27 (rain date June 28). Vendors from both for profit and non-profit businesses and service providers can set up tables that day. To keep providing this event free to the community, they'd like financial, in-kind, and human (volunteers) donations in addition to the low, low for-profit vendor fee of $15. No charge for non-profit vendors. For info, contact Heather Lewis at 610-277-6363 x166.
