Organizers need food, commercial and arts and craft vendors for the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. community festival. More than 60 spots are available at the park.
Twenty-one of the 20-feet-wide by 20-feet-deep booths allow for water and electricity usage. Vendors wanting to use electricity and water must pay a $40 fee; otherwise, the cost is $25.
The committee on Monday decided to postpone a previously discussed talent show competition for the festival, due to time constraints and a lack of outside interest. The committee seeks local musicians to perform throughout the day.
The Hobo festival is returning after a one-year hiatus. Last year’s festival was postponed due to a non-profit status issue. “A Day in the Country Life” Fall Festival, sponsored by Safe Haven Horse Rescue Center and the city’s volunteer fire department, replaced the event.
In addition to seeking vendors, committee members seek sponsors and volunteers.
Interested volunteers may attend the next festival committee meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday at Laurel Hill city hall.
