Would you like to be a vendor?

The AACHSC will feature African American authors and media producers in a variety of subject matters.  We would also like to highlight non-African American authors who capture the African American experience in everyday life.  Approved forms of media for the fair include: books, other published literature, CD/DVDs, children's books, postcards, photos and small artwork, stationary, writing materials, and other relevant cultural materials.  Vendors are required to reserve a table in advance to sell merchandise at the fair. Vendors who have an extensive inventory may reserve a maximum of two tables. Each table is $25.
