Homemade food, generous booth space and handicapped accessibility make for an inviting environment for vendors and shoppers alike. We charge modest booth and table rental, but do not take a percentage of vendor sales. The public is admitted free of charge.

The SES community provides wonderful volunteers who eagerly help to make this event successful. Each year, they often ask for ‘their’ jobs as they establish a favorite location to volunteer.

The Prairie Patch is sponsored by the Southeast of Saline Education Foundation, and allows fund raising opportunities for school organizations as well as community groups. In recent years nearly 80% of our vendors have met or exceeded their sales expectations. It is our goal to attract local talented artists and craftsmen as well as those who professionally travel the craft show circuit. Vendors from across Kansas and surrounding states have exhibited here and comment on the wonderful organization, facilities and volunteers.

The Prairie Patch Café offers a variety of homemade rolls, soups, sandwiches and pies. Our dining room affords a “reunion-type” atmosphere as people meet up here to share their day.
