How can I be a vendor at Hometown Days?

We tried for many years to provide a marketplace at Hometown Days but feedback from our vendors indicated sales weren’t worth the time and effort to set up their pop-up store. If interest increases in a Marketplace in the coming years, we will be happy to consider resurrecting it.

Regarding food trucks, all food options are provided through the Midway and our local non-profits. Competing food vendors are contractually prohibited.

Unless you are a non-profit group or a booked act through the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce, space on the grounds is reserved for our generous sponsors, silver level ($1500) and up.
