Tips & Advice
- Bring the kids to the non-profit informational booths, since every one of them has to offer an activity for children.
- Vendors should drop off applications in person at 707 Dool Avenue by Monday, October 26, and know there are no refunds once accepted.
- Vendors need to bring their own electricity, tables, canopies, trash cans and chairs, because each 10x10 space comes empty.
- Food vendors should bring cash for the registration and health permit fee, because food booth payments are cash only.
