A new “home improvement row” is being added for the 2018 Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival in downtown Christiansburg.
This is in addition to the usual arts and crafts vendors, craft demonstrations, food vendors, children’s area, two stages with live entertainment, antique cars and other vendors.
The new section will be located on Main Street near Burger King. It will be available to anyone one involved in the home improvement line of business.
The cost is $100 prior to August 14 and $115 after August 14 for a 10ft. X 13ft. booth space (no refunds). Here a vendor can gather leads, hand out promotional material or use other means of advertising and can actually take orders.
These new vendors will have an opportunity to interact with the 7,000 to 10,000 attendees who normally visit this event. The hours will be 9:00 a.m.-4 p.m. with set-up time being from 6 a.m.-8:30 a.m.
Wayne Henderson and Helen White will be back again this year; performing on Friday night, September 14 in the Great Road Event Center (old Main Street Baptist Church).
The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. with Indian Run String Band leading off and will be followed by the main event at 7:30 to 8:45. Tickets prices are: advance reserved tickets $20, advance regular seating $15 and tickets at the door $20.
The Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival is always on the 3rd. Saturday in September (Sept. 15, this year). This event is celebrating its 45th. Anniversary this year.
All proceeds from the Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival go to support youth needs in our local community.
