I needed to use the outlets and I was provided a cord to use them for my vendor table. I would do another vendor show there in the future.”
“This event showcases the vibrant spirit of our community and provides a wonderful opportunity for local vendors to connect with attendees,” said Monica Wilson, Interim V.P. of Academics & Student Services, “We’re especially proud of the diverse cultural activities offered for children, which highlight our commitment to community engagement and education.”
