Eligibility: All seniors who are at least 50 years of age are invited to apply, and just 24 spaces will be available for displaying items.

Materials to Accompany Application: You must submit at least three digital photos that are representative of the items you plan to display in your booth. Send them online to jen@millracecenter.org, or deliver them on a disk to the Mill Race Center office. Please include your name and identify each item submitted. If you wish to have disks returned, you must enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your application.
