5. HOUSE RULES (PROHIBITED DURING THE EVENT): Due to the event taking place in close proximity to the environmentally sensitive section of Murrells Inlet that is known as the MarshWalk, balloons may not be used to decorate any booths. For the comfort of all, and due to liability concerns, vendors may not have any types of animals at their tents/ booths/displays; this will also be strictly enforced. The presence of any of these items, including the use of any generators, will be closely monitored. Violations will result in you being asked to leave the show, with no refund of your fee. PLEASE save yourself and us the embarrassment of having to address this by not bringing dogs or generators to this event. Vendors are responsible for the removal of all cardboard, waste, trash, etc. in this environmentally sensitive area.
