Booth Type and Payment Summary:
**NOTE** Vendors must ensure that their tent, food truck, or items fits within the designated space without obstructing pathways or neighboring booths. If they exceed the allotted booth size, you must pay for additional booths based on the size requirements for the booth selected. For example, a food booth is 20x40. If your setup is larger but less than the space of two food booths, you will need to purchase two booth spots. If you fail to abide by this, then you are considered in violation and will forfeit your deposit.
*Receive a $50 discount on the fee for each additional booth purchased beyond the first. This discount applies only to the booth fees, not to deposits.
Example:
Booth 1: Full price (Registration Fee + Refundable Deposit)
Booth 2: Registration Fee discounted by $50 + Refundable Deposit (full price)

Booth Selection Process: Booth spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis upon receipt of the full registration fee and deposit. Deposits are not refundable if vendor is dissatisfied with the assigned booth location. For vendors with multiple booths, adjacent placement of similar booth types is subject to availability. Deposits cover booth maintenance only and do not guarantee specific booth locations.
