This year Carnival will feature a section for small businesses and Independent Sales Consultants to sell their products to the attendees.

Tables will be "sold" for a donation to the silent auction or for a flat fee of $20.00. One consultant per company will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. We already have representatives from Thirty-One, Tupperware. Young Living Essential Oils and Roden + Fields. You must provide your own table, set up, and staffing.
