Vendor Information

Cost: $24 and a small fun raffle donation of $5 value (discount if prepaid at least two weeks prior to event date) All independent consultants, such as Mary K., Scentsy, etc., that sign up to hold a spot must prepay in that time, or spots will be released at the two week mark due to the fact that they only allow one representative per specific company.  All arts and crafters may either take advantage of the discount to prepay or pay the day of the event.

Space: You will have a space that is as big as your pop up, up to 12’x12′. Some spots are deep and you may utilize this extra room. If you would like a double space, please make arrangements with Mel DeSouza prior to set up so that she can accommodate this request, for an additional fee.

All vendors and crafters must sign a Vendor Contract and a Hold Harmless Agreement from Stanislaus County. They will be available at the event to print, as well as the Denair Vendors in the Park page in the notes section, for you to send in with your payment.

Set up will begin at 8:00 am and the show begins at 10:00 am. Tear down will be after 3pm. You may stay later if you wish, but please make arrangements if you will need to leave early as you will be assigned an outter spot so as to not disturb the show or neighboring vendors.  Non profit, Community Service, or Animal Adoption, Rescue or Awareness booths are still free! Spread the word!

Denair Middle School Boys Compete in Twelve Hour Race

Posted on by

Two thirteen year-old Denair boys recently completed a grueling twelve hour race, covering forty eight miles, that included kayaking, mountain biking and trail running. Trent Hulbert and Jake Dirkse, seventh grade students at Denair Middle School, competed in the Dawn to Dusk Adventure Race. The race took place May 10, 2014, in the Santa Barbara area and the boys crossed the finish line in the Los Padres National Forest. The adventure race included 6-8 miles of ocean kayaking, 25-35 miles of mountain biking on roads, fire roads and single tracks, and 10-15 miles of foot travel including technical trail running, scrambling, technical rope sections and swimming. Racers used maps and compasses to navigate the unmarked course.

The boys prepared for the Dawn to Dusk Adventure Race by completing a similar shorter race, the Checkpoint Challenge in mid-April. Completing the Dusk to Dawn Adventure Race is a huge accomplishment for adults, and these boys represented the younger contestents admirably!
