ATHENS-CONCORD TOWN SOCIAL CALLING FOR VENDORS
ATHENS, W.Va. – Vendor registration continues for the 2022 Athens-Concord Town Social. This popular summertime gathering will be held on Sunday, Aug. 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the front lawn of Concord University in Athens, W.Va.
Theme for this year is “Rooted yet Growing” which organizers say celebrates “the rich, vibrant history of Athens and Concord University” while looking forward to a bright future as town and campus work together.
For more than three decades, the town social has offered family-friendly entertainment and fun for the Concord and Athens communities along with guests from across the area. The event typically draws hundreds of attendees to enjoy live music and visit craft booths, food vendors, and displays by businesses and organizations. Children’s games are also part of the festivities along with recognition of campus and community service award recipients.
Non-food vendors may reserve an exhibit space at the town social by completing the registration form here: https://apps.concord.edu/forms/view.php?id=101731 Questions about non-food vendors should be directed to Kristen O’Sullivan at kosullivan@concord.edu or 304-384-6099.
Applications for food vendors are also currently being accepted. Please note that spots for food vendors are limited to four and may be reserved by contacting Erin Conner at econner@concord.edu or 304-384-5130.
The deadline for all vendor registrations is Sunday, July 31, 2022.
