New Rules & Regulation Guidelines
1. Absolutely no animals. We have allowed you in the past, but due to animals fighting in the midway and liable reasons, you will no longer be allowed to bring your animals. No exceptions. 2. No parking in the Handicap Parking Lot. This is the parking lot located beside the City Pool. If you are parked there, you will be towed at your expense. 3. No arguing with the Chamber of Commerce officials. If you argue with the officials , you will be asked to leave with NO REFUND! 4. No selling ANY merchandise, products or food to anyone without a Stamp visible on their hand. Due to people sneaking in, we will be issuing a Visible stamp to EVERYONE who pays to get in. If they do not have a stamp on then they did not pay to get in. If you are caught selling to someone without a stamp on, you will be asked to leave without a refund immediately. 5. You can not break down your booth and leave before the festival Shuts down on each night. You may pick up a schedule from the Chamber Trailer to check the hours, you can not leave the festival early while it is still going on. If you leave without permission before shutting down time, you will not be able to come back the following day. You will not get a refund. 6. Only 2 passes per booth. If you need more for your workers, you will have to purchase them. No exceptions. This is a old rule but has not been followed through. This year and the following years, do not ask for extras. 7. No driving down the midway after the festival has began. This applies to everyone! Once the festival has started, you can not pull down on the midway for any reason. This has been a serious problem, and you will be asked to leave with no refund if you are caught. If you need to get in and out to your booth, you need to see the Chamber of Commerce officials for an alternative.
