- Yes, we have expanded to accept vintage at the Spring Fair and the Fall Fair.
- Why do you not have the Fall Fair on a home Football Weekend?
- As much as we would like to do that, there is no parking on campus for our vendors or shoppers that might come from the community. All parking lots are pre-sold to football fans. We have explored this many times, it does not work for the campus, for us, for parking.
