Geary County Sheriff’s Office Community Involvement Team is having its annual vendor bazaar from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Geary County 4-H/Senior Citizens Center, 1025 S. Spring Valley Rd. CIT is inviting local and area vendors to set up a booth and sell or advertise their products.
CIT is a non-profit community coalition that aims at building positive rapport between law enforcement members and the citizens, particularly youth of Geary County and surrounding communities.
The vendor event is one of the organization’s major fund-raisers which helps support such activities as Camp SHIELD, participation at Touch-A-Truck, the 4-H Fair, the Junction City Block Party; organize Operation Milford Santa, Operation Santa with Toys 4 Tots and many other community-wide events. At many events CIT provides educational material, items for children such as water bottles, t-shirts and holiday-themed giveaways. Camp SHIELD is offered to select participants at no cost to them. It is a five-day camp, traditionally hosted at Rock Springs 4-H Center where team-building is a key emphasis in addition to drug and alcohol awareness and insight to law enforcement operations.
The vendor event features many home-based businesses along with handmade items ranging in a wide variety. Each vendor is asked to provide a giveaway prize. Booth spaces range in price from $30-$45 and fees go directly to CIT. Spaces are still available.
