Tables and chairs for vendors/presenters will be provided at no cost. In the past there have been about 200-500 attendees, mostly students and faculty, with some community members. We intend to expand upon that this year, but we need your help!
LOCATION:
12345 College Blvd. Overland Park, KS, in the Commons Courtyard.
The Building closest to the event will be the Student Center, and most of us will be outside, near the Big green hill.
We are currently in the planning stage of this event so we will have more details as things progress and more vendors and non-profits become involved. Please feel free to call for sign-up details, etc… and…
PLEASE PASS THE WORD!
Thank You
