NUMBER 21
Notice From Catherine Dorsey
I am still the President of the Labor Day Fair. We are taking
applications for vendors now so please get your application as
soon as possible-and send it in to us as soon as possible-spaces
are assigned first applications received, first assigned a space. If
you had a space last year and remember the space number that
you were assigned put that number on your application this year.
If your application is late someone else may be assisgned that
space - we can not hold a space.
Applications are in the Taliaferro County Board of Commissioners
Office (inside the courthouse). We will place applications in other
locations around town in the future (restaurants and stores). We
are looking for a DJ - if you are interested please get in touch with
me about the music. We are looking for individuals and groups
to perform at the Labor Day Fair (whatever your talent is singing,
dancing, etc). We would like to have Bands from Taliaferro County
School and surrounding schools to perform. We would like to
have “Bouncy Houses” for the children (Bouncy Houses will need
your own insurance - our insurance will not cover your Bouncy
House). We plan to have horses in the parade this year. We
would like everyone to come together as a community and help,
if you would like to join the committee you can get in touch with
me. I will let you know the day and time we will meet. My number
