The Taste of West "O" is looking to add even more cultural diversity to our three day community festival. The inaugural year proved to be financially rewarding for those Arts & Crafters that featured their items to the thousands of festival patrons that attended the event. Our space rental is affordable and allows our Vendors the opportunity to make a nice profit. We are currently accpeting applications for unique Arts & Crafts Vendors from the Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado and Missouri region. If you offer custom made items such as paintings, sculptures, pottery, photos, jewelery and more, we want to hear from you. Click here to download a 2008 Application. If that doesn't work for you, you can email us at:
