The Slayton Area Farm & Home Show/Family Fair is coming up on Saturday, March 18 at the MCC gym. Sponsored by the Slayton Area Chamber of Commerce and Murray County Early Childhood Initiative, the event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We are still looking for booths for the event. Exhibitors get a 8x8 space, at a cost of $25 for non-profits, $50 for profits. There is also a $10 fee if you need a table in your space. Set-up for your booth can be done at 7:30 p.m. Friday or beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, and we’ll have some students on hand to help you carry your items both in and out.
Anyone interested in a booth can contact Julie Dahlhoff at 507-220-1373. Checks for the booth can be written to Murray County ECI and mailed to PO Box 54, Slayton, MN 56172.
