Vendor Rules

1.  Vendor applications are subject to review and approval; submission of an application does not guarantee participation.  You will only receive correspondence if your application is NOT approved, at which your application will be refunded.

2.  Vendors are not allowed to sell or display items deemed by Event staff to be obscene, political, dangerous, or illegal. Complaints and/or concerns will be addressed and resolved by the Event staff.

3.  Electricity is limited and only available near City Park.  Vendors must communicate with Event staff if this is needed.

4.  The Event staff and Board of Directors have the right to refuse any vendor that provides products or services that do not fit the criteria or meet the needs of the expected attendees.

5.  A vendor map layout will be emailed each week with their designated number and location.  It is the vendor’s responsibility to check their location EACH WEEK, as circumstances arise to adjust spots.  Previous location is not guaranteed.

6.  Exclusivity is not guaranteed.

7.   Vendors may NOT arrive before 5 p.m. day of event and must be set up by 6 p.m.  Vendors must vacate the event by 10 p.m.

8.   Vendors must stay for the entirety of the event.

9.   Vendors cannot use public trash receptacles for disposal of vendor-produced trash.  Vendors are responsible for cleaning up their area and removal of any garbage. This will be closely monitored. *Violators may be prohibited from future events* There is a dumpster on the SW corner of City Park for your use.

10.  Event spaces for trailers are limited and assigned to designated areas for the safety of the public and other vendors.  Trailers will be required to unhook from vehicles and park off-site, unless approved by Event staff.

11.  Loading and unloading zones are allowed near booth spaces before and after event hours.  Place your vendor permit in the dash to avoid being towed. Pemits can be picked up at the Chamber office or requesting one be mailed.  PLEASE respect other vendors by allowing them space and time to unload. We also ask that when unloading, you do so in the most efficient manner as we realize time is limited.

12.  Spaces may not be sold or given to other individuals.

13.  Event staff will monitor any weather issues and concerns that arise.  Cancellations will be posted on our website and Facebook.  It is the vendor’s responsibility to monitor any changes, cancellations and use their own discretion.  There will be no refunds due to the weather.

14.  Vendors are responsible to notify the Event staff if unable to attend. No refunds issued if less than 7 days prior to event.  Absence with or without communication with Event staff may result in termination of your space and/or placed on the waiting list.

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY VENDOR RULE MAY RESULT IN FORFEITURE IN FUTURE EVENTS.
