A huge thank you to First Harrison Bank for being a proud sponsor of the Pal Wow Family Fun Festival!

Because of their generosity and support, we’re able to keep this event free for our community to enjoy. It truly wouldn’t be possible without partners like them who believe in bringing people together and making moments like this happen.

We appreciate the commitment to our community and can’t wait to celebrate together this September!

We are proud to be a sponsor of the 2026 Pal Wow Family Fun Fest! September may be five months away, but we're already excited to see what the Pal Wow team can do this year for our community.

We are so glad to see how excited everyone is for Pal Wow 2026...trust us, we’re just as excited as you are! It’s been wonderful hearing from so many local vendors already, and we’re truly thankful for the enthusiasm and support our community continues to show every single year.

With that said, we want to share an important reminder:
We are not accepting vendor applications at this time.
If you see any posts, messages, or links claiming that vendor spots are open right now, please disregard them...they are scams.

Official vendor applications will open in late spring, and all details, deadlines, and instructions will be posted right here on our official page when the time comes.

Thank you again for your excitement, patience, and support. We’re looking forward to this year's event and can’t wait to welcome our vendors and community back to Pal Wow 2026!
