Virginia State Parks (August 02, 2016 04:03:07 PM): This event was last year and we didn't coordinate the vendors. It is scheduled for Sept. 17. This year. Looks like they are seeking food or crafts vendors so I am not sure if that works for you but here is the link: http://winebythelake.com/vendors/.

Cindy Dojcak (August 02, 2016 03:34:09 PM): I am a massage therapist with a business in downtown Fredericksburg and a member of the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce. I am interested in providing chair or table massage at this event. Please email me if you are also interested. Thank you!
