Vendor Information
We are encouraging PawPaw related vendors to share their products at the festival. This can be hand-crafted items that have a pawpaw twist or trees, fruit and other directly related items. We are trying to hand select vendors this first go round. There isn't any official form or fee. If you are interested in helping us with this first stab at a festival email corey@westonirish.com.
Venue
We will be hosting this event in the area adjacent to the O'Malley's Parking lot. It is our new park and amphitheater. The site hosted a few concerts last fall as is currently hosting the Weston Farmers Market in the upper section.
