(Rain Location: James F. Dicke Hall, with limitations)

Lake Campus enrollment is approximately 1200 students
The Annual Laker Lawn Party (formerly known as the Campus-Community Connection Fair) will be hosted at Wright State University - Lake Campus. This event offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for local companies/businesses/organizations to interact with students and showcase their brand, services, fashions, sounds, technology, products, and tastes. Featuring two fun hours of friends, food, and free stuff, the Campus-Community Connection Fair is a much-anticipated event and we hope it will be a huge hit with the entire Laker community! 
For the 2024 event, there is no vendor participation fee, and therefore, vendors are responsible for bringing ALL of their own supplies.  In the future, fees may be assessed as sponsorship opportunities.  For simplification purposes, all 'external' participants (businesses/organizations) will be referred to as 'vendors' in this form.
