• Only five food vendor spaces are available – apply ASAP!
• A standard space consists of your 10’x10’ tent plus 2’ of clearance on each side = 14’x14’ total space.  Additional space may be purchased (see application on next page).
• Check-in times are from 6:30-8:00 am. You must be set up and vehicles moved to off-street parking by 9:00 am.
• Tents, tables, and chairs are NOT provided.
• Vendors must staff their booths for the duration of the event unless severe weather becomes a factor.
• Location or designated boundaries of any booth space may not be changed. All tent supports, trailer hitches, propane tanks, etc., must be within the boundaries of their assigned booth spaces.
• Vendors must bring an adequate amount of food to last the entire day.
• NO sewer or water hookups available.
• NO grease disposal available.
• NO sharing of spaces. Each business/organization must apply for booth space separately. 
• Electricity & Propane:  Power is limited to certain booth areas.  Be sure to complete the section of the application on electrical needs, listing specific power requirements 110v or 220v. Vendors must bring suitable cords and outlet strips to meet their needs. 
• Fire Safety:  Any vendor using cooking equipment must have a 40 BC-minimum fire extinguisher.  Any vendor who serves food must have a 20 BC-minimum fire extinguisher.  The Fire Marshall requires that propane tanks be secured firmly on a hard, non-combustible surface, i.e. cement blocks, tin, etc.  Vendors must supply their own surface on which to secure tanks - the ground alone does not qualify.
• Insurance:  Accepted vendors will be required to provide the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce with a certificate of insurance with no less than $1,000,000 general liability insurance and naming the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce as the additional insured.  Vendors assume all risk for their property.  The Chamber will not be responsible for any loss or damage from any cause.
• Licenses:  Vendors are responsible for acquiring all necessary state and town licenses.  Licenses must be displayed at the concession site for government inspectors.
• Selection of food vendors will be made on the basis of quality and pricing, with the priority of providing a variety of menu choices for the Art Fair. You may be asked to adjust your menu based on what other vendors are planning to offer, if another vendor signed up first.
• $10 fee for all cancellations.  No refunds after June 1.
