 The RSU22 Education Foundation is excited to invite local businesses and organizations to participate in the new and improved 2026 RSU22 Education Foundation Community Expo & Kids Carnival —designed to encourage families to stay longer, explore vendor booths, and engage meaningfully with the community! 

All types of businesses and organizations are welcome - large, small, and part-time as well as nonprofits!  So far, several businesses in food, crafts/handmade goods, health-related services, technology services, financial services, construction/landscaping, and real estate as well as several nonprofits have registered (see list below).  

Register here as a Vendor or Sponsor or see below for more details. 

Sponsor Deadline: 

Friday, February  27, 2026  -  Ended - we got 11 sponsors - exceeding our goal!

Exhibitor Only Deadline: 

Friday, March 13, 2026 - OPEN  

A major highlight of the event is the Kids Carnival, led by RSU22 students:

• Students from each grade level, along with school clubs and athletic teams, will host carnival games and activities
• This builds school pride, student leadership, and authentic community involvement
• Families are encouraged to stay longer, participate, and visit vendor booths throughout the event

The result is a lively, interactive atmosphere with built-in enthusiasm and steady foot traffic.

Proceeds from the game tickets sold will be shared between the clubs and RSU22 Foundation to support our teachers and classrooms.  

 We are also introducing a dedicated Wellness Area to expand the audience and add value for attendees, featuring:

• CPR and life-saving skills courses (pre-registration required)
• Wellness-focused organizations and safety resources
• Select free services and educational opportunities for families and caregivers

We will have wellness programs open to the public including Balance Assessments, Car Seat Checks, Dental Health, Nutrition Services, and connecting with Mental Health Services for Veterans during the day.  You can just drop-in without signing up for most of these programs.   

Do register here for CPR/First Aid and Stop the Bleed, however, due to space limits.
