(MURFREESBORO) - The Oaklands Mansion Fall Craft Fair will be held on the grounds of the mansion and park and will take place Saturday, September 7th, 2024 from 10:00am-5:00pm. This event will be the first of a yearly Fall and Spring craft fair. We are looking forward to supporting the community and local artists and vendors. If you are not interested in being a participant or sponsor of the event, we still hope to see you there as a guest. We will do our best to make it an enjoyable time for everyone in attendance. All proceeds will go toward making the event a success, furthering our outreach and educational programs, and the costly upkeep of the Mansion and Grounds.

We are currently looking for anyone interested in the following:

• applying to be a vendor, artisan, or food truck, 
• entertaining or performing at the event,
• representing your local non-profit or community center and set up to participate in our community outreach area,
• sponsoring the event through monetary donations,
• sponsoring the event through item donations for door prizes and a silent auction, or 100 small items for the gift bags,
• volunteering to be on the planning committee or helping with parking, set up, and the event itself.

If you are an artisan or vendor and would like to participate in the Fair, you may sign up with the application at the following link.

If you are a sponsor, representative of a non-profit or community organization, entertainer, or volunteer, please contact Jody Johnson at Jody@oaklandsmansion.org to sign up. You may also contact Connor Moss at Connor@oaklandsmansion.org or James Manning at jwm@oaklandsmansion.org for more information or questions.

We will have our first planning committee meeting on Wednesday, July 31st in Maney Hall at 5:00pm. Anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to come to that meeting. Below is our initial flyer for the event. Monetary sponsors will have their logos added to the flyer and gift bags.

If you want to participate as a guest, all you have to do is show up!

No reservations or tickets are required.
