2009 Vendor Terms and Conditions

Nonprofit Vendors

A nonprofit vendor is defined as a social service agency, nonprofit organization, or church.

Payment Deadline

Completed forms and payment must be received by the deadline of August 1^st. Due to space restrictions, spaces will be provided on a first come, first served basis. There is no rain date for the festival.

Tables & Chairs

Tables & chairs are not included in the price of the space. Because the Franklin Center of Beaver County has a limited number of tables, tables will be provided on a first come, first served basis to vendors who pay for them. Each table is 6 feet long and comes with 2 chairs.

Electricity

Electrical hookup is not included in the price of a space.  Vendors paying for an electrical hookup will be provided with 4 outlets.  Vendors are permitted to utilize no more than 4 electrical devices, no more than 3 of which may be cooking appliances.  To limit the number of appliances, no power strips will be permitted.  No generators will be permitted.

Product Control

The Franklin Center of Beaver County reserves the right to reject any vendor forms in order to control and avoid duplications of the products sold during the festival.

Spaces

A space is defined as a ten-foot by ten-foot area and includes a ten-foot by ten-foot tent. If your product requires a larger area, you may purchase multiple spaces.

Display Hours

Display hours are from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.

Set-Up

Vendors will be informed of their exact location 3 days prior to the festival. We recommend that you begin setting up at 9 a.m. Vendors are permitted to unload at their space, but must park their cars after unloading. There is no designated parking for vendors. During the parade, vendors will not be able to pull up to their spots, so it is recommended that you do not unload between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

Clean-Up

Vendors are responsible for cleaning any trash left in their areas. If you paid for a table, you must collapse the table and return it to the storage area. Any vendor who is physically unable to carry tables must find a festival volunteer to carry the table(s). Vendors will be allotted one hour after closing to vacate their space.  Trash bags will be provided to clean all debris in the vendor area.

Rib Cook-Off

Vendors who wish to enter the annual rib cook-off contest must indicate this on the vendor form under “Activity.” Vendors who do not indicate that they would like to participate in the cook-off cannot enter the competition on the day of the festival. The top cook-off winner will be awarded a monetary prize. Each contestant must provide 3 free rib samples to the 3 judges. We must have at least 3 participants before we will hold the rib cook-off contest.
