| Festival Vendor/ExhibitorIMPORTANT NOTICE:
APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE WEEK BEFORE THE FESTIVAL WHILE SPACE LASTS. RETURNING VENDORS PAID IN FULL BY MAY 1, 2012 GET FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL ON THEIR PRIOR YEAR'S SPACE. PLEASE REFER TO THE MAP YOU WILL BE ISSUED IN MAY FOR YOUR SPACE ASSIGNMENT. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM YOUR ASSIGNED MARKED SPACE ON THE GREEN.
1. The standard booth size is 20 feet by 10 feet (200 square feet) with the long side facing the center of the green in most cases. Booths have a fixed measurement of 10 feet in depth.
2. Booth set-up must occur before 9:00 a.m. due to the closing of Broad Street for the parade. Booth set-up may begin as early as the day before the event at your own risk. Most vendors set-up between 7am and 9am the day of the event.
3. You must supply your own tables, chairs, tents, and building materials.
4. NO STAKES are to be driven into the Town Green due to the underground sprinkler system. If you have a tent, please bring alternative weighting materials. Consider bringing tent weights for windy weather even if your tent typically does not need them.
5. No cars, trucks, trailers or heavy equipment are allowed on the Town Green without prior approval this includes for set-up and removal.
6. You are restricted to your assigned areas, DO NOT deviate from the assigned marked space on the Town Green. Circulating on the Town Green or along the street is prohibited. Police take notice.
7. Although the Windsor Jaycees attempt to limit the number of duplicate vendors, you have no assurance that similar commodities or services will not be for sale by someone else.
8. Change is not supplied, so bring sufficient supply for your needs.
9. You will be responsible for your assigned area, including the placement of trash in plastic bags on the Broad Street curbside at the end of the day.
10. There is no rain date. No refund of deposit will result for no-shows.
11. Items for sale, which involve the firing or jettison of water, chemical or projectiles, fireworks & caps will not be allowed on the Town Green. On Shad Derby Day, we reserve the right to ban the sale of these items, as well as any items that are deemed to be inappropriate by the Windsor Police Department. The Windsor Police Department is on notice and will be patrolling the Town Green to ensure compliance with this Town Ordinance. Individuals or organizations selling such offensive items will not receive future invitations.
12. Overflow parking is available at Windsor High School
13. All booths must close at 4:00 p.m. If you distribute prizes, all prizes must be given out by 4:00 p.m. This will be strictly enforced.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
1. Beer sales may start at 11:00 a.m. and will end promptly at 4:00 p.m. Police will take notice.
2. If food or beverage of any kind is to be involved (whether sold/given away, prepared on-site/prepackaged... including candy and water), you must obtain a town health permit from the Town Health Office by 4:30 p.m. TWO WEEKS prior. No permit means no food. Please note, there is a fee for this permit (non-profits are exempt). There are many rules you must abide by when selling food, such as: you must have a town approved canopy covering the food (contact Town Hall for approval), all cooking must be done on the town green and no food will be allowed to sit on the ground. These are just a few of the many town requirements. You will recieve details with your food permit from the Town.
3. If cooking is to be done, you must supply a five-pound (5lb.) dry chemical fire extinguisher, securely mounted and displayed (B & C rated-grease or electrical).
4. All components, including fuel tanks, hoses and fittings of liquefied petroleum gas cooking appliances must be of a type approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as the American Gas Association or must have been serviced by a licensed gas appliance serviceman or company. Please Contact the Fire Marshall's office for inspections or additional information. Appliances fueled by Flammable liquid are not for use on the Green
5. Although power on the Town Green is limited, the use of individual generators to supply power is strongly discouraged. We reserve the right to request or to prohibit their use.
6. Waste water, such as cooled water from cooking, should be disposed of in the Port-a-potties, not emptied onto the grass or into the Town fountain/sewer system.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. You MUST make arrangements for electricity prior to the event. The electricians run wires (primarily under the Town Green sod) several days before the event. There is a fee for their service.
2. You are strongly encouraged to arrive early (well before Broad Street closes at 9am) to ensure your electrical requirements have been met.
3. Your outlet will be within 100' of your space. You must bring with you a 100' three wire-grounded extension cord. (Remember to test the cord before the event day).
4. There is limited electricity supply on the Town Green. All appliances must run on 100 volts (20 amps). Few, if any, 200-volt/other service can be supplied. If you need more than 100 volts, you MUST request and pay for this in advance (even if you need it every year), and we will try to accomodate you if possible.
5. Any vendor who has requested electricity will receive one (1) outlet with a twenty (20) amp maximum. Plugs will not be split. No power cords or splitters. If your power requirement exceeds 20 amps and you have not requested an additional outlet, we will be unable to provide it to you on Shad Derby Day. (A good rule of thumb is, if you have more than 1 appliance, you need more than 1 outlet.)
6. If you have not requested electricity, then you will not be located near any. Therefore, if you now require it, please contact us immediately. Please make sure you have your booth number. It will be next to impossible to revise your location the morning of the Derby.
