<h3>Due to the forecasted threat of severe thunderstorms, large hail, strong winds, and potentially hazardous weather conditions for Thursday, June 11, we have made the decision to postpone the Concert in the Park featuring the Young Entrepreneur Fair to Friday, June 12 from 5 - 8 p.m.</h3>
The safety of our vendors, staff, and attendees is our highest priority. After carefully reviewing the weather forecasts, we believe postponement is the most prudent course of action. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

These entrepreneurs will be selling a variety of handmade items including jewelry, 3D creations, artwork, baked goods, bookmarks, toys and more!
An awards ceremony will be held at approximately 7:30 p.m. on the Main Stage for all participating on-site entrepreneurs.
