Fall Maker's Market
on Saturday, September 20
from 9 am to 5 pm


Vendors and shoppers are invited to join us for an exciting Fall Makers Market! Creativity and craftsmanship will come alive for the first time at the Children’s STEAM Playlab as craft vendors (specializing in artisanal, re-purposed crafts, and handmade items), food vendors and chefs, gardeners, and artists of all talents showcase their unique creations.


This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with a community that appreciates quality and innovation.


We look forward to seeing the incredible creativity our vendors will bring to this year’s first market and hope YOU will be there to support them and the Playlab!


Vendor Registration

We are accepting vendor applications which must include sample photos of items being featured. Each vendor is asked to pay a $25 booth fee (10' x 10' booth size) and donate a basket or larger item (minimum value of $25) that will be used for the silent auction fundraiser at our December Gala. Booth availability is on a first-come, first-served basis so promptness is key.


All vendors will be inside the building at LincWay. This is a fundraiser to help the Playlab continue to meet our mission and build out the interior of a children’s science center in Dalton, Ohio.
