FOOD VENDORS: Vendors of food must have a copy of your certificate of insurance (liability) at the event. Food vendors, it is your responsibility to ensure you have complied with any local or state regulations regarding food handling, preparation and packaging. Due to COVID, decisions regarding sampling of food products will be made shortly prior to the event's start date.

MARKETING: Advertisement will include banners on the Wild Onion Brewery & Banquets property and at Pepper Rd/Northwest Hwy, facebook/instagram ads and more. As a vendor, PLEASE help spread the word to make this event as successful as possible! This can be done by simple word of mouth, your own social media posts, and interacting/sharing our social media posts.

BOOTH QUANTITIES: Approximately 40 Booths are available. Final Vendor/Booth counts depend on how many share booths and how many vendors need 2 booth spaces.

BOOTH SPACE: Your spot will be assigned and we will try our best to have vendors with similar products spaced apart from each other. Booth sizes are listed at the bottom of this application. In our effort to keep everything fair and safe for others, please keep all your items within your booth space.

BOOTH SHARING: Booth sharing between 2 vendors is only allowed with booths 10x6 and larger.

Chairs and Tables: Each booth includes free chairs. Please select how many you need at the bottom of this application. A very limited number of tables are available, so if you want a table be sure to select it at the bottom of this application. You will be notified after your application is approved, if there is a table available for you. **selecting a table rental does not guarentee you are getting a table**

Electric: Please be prepared to not have electricity. Some spots may be near an outlet, but there is no guarantee.

Lighting: While the venue of course has lights on, please feel free to bring battery operated lighting to brighten up your display! Please do not use flashing or flickering lights. You can bring plug in lighting as a backup, but again there is no guarentee you will be by an outlet.

TENTS: Tents are not allowed.

TAXES: It is up to the maker to properly include sales tax, so that they may file correctly at the end of the year. If Lake Barrington does check, it will hinder your ability to apply next year if not completed, as stated by the village.

LUNCH: If you would like to bring a sack lunch that is okay OR you can pre-order lunch through Wild Onion. We are working out the details of pre-ordering and will let you know how to do it at a later time.

Cancelation Policy: Like many, if not most events.... If your application is ACCEPTED, there are no refunds or transferring your payment to a different event.

COVID: Due to the recent pandemic, all details are subject to change based on the Illinois Department of Health. In the event guidelines change, and unable to hold the event as advertised, vendors will be reimbursed appropriately.
