VENDOR FAIR
August 7, 2026
Dear Friends, Vendors, and Community Supporters,
On behalf of Operation Ray of Light, I am writing to invite you to be part of our First Annual Operation Ray of Light Fall
Family Festival and Vendor Fair on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 40 Kiwanis Beach Road, Standish, Maine.
This is an event that brings families and the community together for fellowship, connection, and support. Our mission is
to create opportunities for veterans and their loved ones to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and experience the healing power of
community. The Fall Family Festival will be a full day of gathering, activities, and celebration in support of those who
have served.
As part of this event, we are hosting a Vendor Fair and are aiming for more than 50 vendors. We would be honored to
have you join us. Whether you sell handmade goods, crafts, food, or other items, your presence helps create a vibrant
atmosphere and raises awareness and funds for our work supporting veterans and families impacted by PTSD.
Event & Vendor Details:
• Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026
• Location: 40 Kiwanis Beach Road, Standish, Maine
• Vendor Setup: 7:00 AM | Vendors Open: 8:00 AM
