Commercial Booth Rental Agreement

2002 Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival

October 5 & 6 Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex, VT

Festival hours are from 10:00am until 5:00pm Saturday and 10:00am until

4:00pm Sunday.

Booth spaces will be 10' x 10' or 10' x 15' or you may double your space.

All the inside spaces will be in one main building. There will be spaces in

the barn beside your animals for the vendors bringing animals, but if you

are selling ANYTHING (with the exception of your animals), you must reserve

a vendor space. There will also be outside spaces available.

This year will be a little different as to returning vendors. You will get

first choice to reserve a space. We will try to place your booth as close as

possible to the set-up in the past, however, please do let us know is you

have any requests as to placement. There are no guarantees, but we will do

our best to try to accommodate everyone!

The rental agreement must be received by March 1, 2002. After this date, the

booths will be available to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis.

Spaces will be confirmed by April 1, and new vendors will be notified at

this time.

Electricity will be available ONLY to those who have requested it.

One table and two chairs will be provided per space, again, ONLY if you have

requested it on the form. There is a charge to us this year for the tables,

so we will have available only those that have been requested.

Set-up information will be included with your confirmation letter.

Camping information and fees will be mailed out after your confirmation.

RULES:

All booths must be sheep, wool, or natural fiber related.

The festival committee reserves the right to reject a booth applicant for

lack of suitability and compatibility.

We also reserve the right to reject any vendor who does not treat everyone

with courtesy.

The festival committee, whose decision will be final, shall decide disputes

arising from any cause.

All vendors understand that they are responsible for any commitments they

make at the festival.

All booth material must stay within the boundaries of the designated space.

All vendors are responsible for keeping their space clean at all times, and

for cleaning their area at the end of the festival.

Signs and displays shall not be so large as to interfere with the view of

the neighboring booths.

No animals except those that are registered and in pens are permitted at the

festival (NO dogs...Essex is very strict on this!).

VSBA and The Champlain Valley Exposition shall not be liable for any

personal injury or property damage, theft or casualty loss resulting from

any cause whatsoever occurring on the Festival premises.
