street booths
Lincoln County non-profit organizations will be eligible to have an education/public awareness exhibit or fund-raising booth. Any Lincoln County merchant who has purchased booth space is eligible to set up an exhibit and sell at the Apple Festival. The remainder of the street booths who are business must be for information purposes only and are not allowed to sell. These exhibits are for the purpose of informing the general public of what is available in Lincoln County.
