Local Business Owners Can Get Local During The University Place Tree Lighting

University Place is giving its local businesses a chance to showcase their stuff during its annual holiday celebration.

The city is hosting a "Get Local" Business Fest during the annual University Place Christmas Tree Lighting event, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 3.

According to the city, this event is a terrific opportunity for owners to showcase their businesses, which will occupy booths lined along Market Square (the paved area between City Hall and the University Place Library). It's asking businesses to pass out candy, as the city usually has 2,000 or so people in attendance, many of whom are children. We know it will be cold outside so dress warmly and feel free to pass out promotional items or information about your company at your booth. 

Vendor space is available and at a cost of $100.00 for a 10-foot-by-10-foot space.

Also a sponsorship is available for $500.00 which includes one booth space, promotion in all marketing materials and on the City of University Place website. 

All proceeds of this and all of our events benefit the University Place Community Supported Parks and Recreation a non-profit organization helping support youth sports and senior citizens in the University Place Community.
