In just a few weeks, more than 400 visitors will shop at a local vendor fair chock-full of business booths.
The 11th Annual Clearwater Vendor Fair is set for Saturday, November 7th from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. at the Heights Church on 4631 Jefferson Davis Highway (Highway 1).
Booths range from $ 48 to $ 90 to rent.
Ashlee Thompson is the owner of Relax & Renew Massage.
“I’ve had the pleasure of participating in and sponsoring this event every year. It’s honestly one of those events I look forward to, and I always encourage people to come out and experience it for themselves. It’s a great way to spend a few hours, meet wonderful people, shop local, and support the hardworking individuals in our community.”
Thompson’s team offers free chair massages.
Vendors like Thompson all offer a donated prize that will be raffled off to attendees, who will enjoy a kids zone, picnic tables, live music, and lunch, with proceeds going back to the community.
Courtney Freeman organizes the Vendor Fair each year to help businesses, the community, and those in need.
“The reason we do this event is to raise money for local mission work. We’ve been able to house evacuees from the coast during hurricanes, help single parents with house/car repairs, provide Christmas gifts to kids in Kinship care in 4 local counties, provide beds and car seats to parents working for reunification with their children and those entering foster care, help widows/widowers with house/car repairs, and so much more!”

“As a small business owner, I know firsthand how much these events mean to participating vendors. For many of us, it’s not just about making sales, but also about meeting new people, building relationships, and supporting one another,” added Thompson.
