Once a Booth Vendor Application is approved, payment by credit card, money order, cashier’s check, personal or business check must be received by the Wednesday due date.

Permanent vendors may cancel their space by the prior Monday at midnight.

Vendor agrees to set up and break down the assigned booth space in a timely manner so that the Vendor is ready to sell when the Event opens to the public and does not close until the Event ends. Vendor may not break down space before the event closes unless approved by Event staff. Vendor agrees to conduct his/herself in a professional manner as to not bring Event into ill repute. Vendor agrees to abide by rules set forth by nearby businesses, local government officials, and the Producer. Vendor may be asked to leave the Event for any reason.
