Welcome to Winona Fair Vendor Registration

The Welcome to Winona Fair provides local businesses and community organizations from the area an opportunity to engage with WSU students and showcase their services. Student Organizations have a similar opportunity at the Club Fairs.

This event gives local organizations the opportunity to promote services, goods, employment opportunities, food samples and more through face-to-face engagement. Distribution of swag, samples and coupons is encouraged.

Last year's event was a huge success with over 1,000 WSU students present. The more interactive your display is, the better engagement you'll get from our students
