- 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 marshal 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.

Vendors assume all risk for their property. The Chamber will not be responsible for any loss or damage from any cause.

- 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.
