Four Town Fair Grounds

Ellington local and small business owner Rachel Saverse, 24, has spent the past four months bringing a vision for a community event to life. As the owner of Red Rose Events, Rachel has independently planned and organized a local vendor fair designed to bring together businesses, families, and the community for a day of shopping, food, and fun. What started as an idea has grown into an event featuring nearly 50 local vendors, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and a dedicated Kids Zone filled with activities to keep little ones entertained throughout the day. Rachel has worked behind the scenes to coordinate vendors, sponsors, entertainment, activities, and countless other details completely on her own, with the goal of creating more than just a vendor fair — she wants to create an event where local businesses can gain exposure and families can come together and enjoy a fun day right here in their community. As a young entrepreneur and Ellington resident, Rachel hopes this event will be the beginning of many more opportunities to connect and support local businesses and families in the area.
