** VENDOR BOOTH: University City Parks Council RULES AND PROCEDURES **

1) Booth space positions will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Booth spaces are approximately 10’ x 10’. Vendors may request specific booth space by space number, however, such request does not guarantee securing requested space.

2) If electricity is needed, up to two outlets may be requested at an additional cost of $15 per outlet. Booths requiring electricity will be placed on spaces most convenient to connection. We cannot be held responsible for power failures.

3) You must bring your own canopies, tables, chairs, heavy-duty extension cords and generators, if needed. Balloons are not permitted. Music or announcements from your booth cannot interfere with event performances and announcements.

4) No motor vehicles will be permitted beyond the parking lots. This is a safety regulation of the Park and Recreation Department and MUST be enforced.

5) In view of item (4) above, you must provide your own non-vehicular means of transporting equipment between the parking lot and your booth space.

6) Please unload in the Standley Recreation Center parking lot, then park your vehicle(s) in the Standley Middle School or Spreckels Elementary School parking lots. Vendors may not remain parked at the Rec Center or pool parking lots after unloading.

7) Your application form must specifically describe your booth activities and list the items you will be selling.

8) Each booth must have a sign displaying the name of the organization and/or sponsor, and, if applicable, the price of the activity or item(s) offered. Booths may begin operation earlier but must be open by 11:00am.

9) Booths selling food are subject to San Diego County Health Department inspection. Protective screens are required where food is prepared. Operators of booths selling food must pass county requirements for food handling. The Celebration Committee is not responsible for obtaining health permits for vendors.

10) To avoid duplication, food vendors must specify on the booth application all food items they will be selling. They will be restricted to only those items.

11) Non-food booths must close at 4:00 pm and be removed by 5:00 pm. Booths selling food may remain open until 6:00 pm.

12) To ensure that there is no misunderstanding, please bring a copy of this page with you to the Celebration.

13) Due to potential liability of animals getting loose or causing a nuisance, a request to bring live animals to the booths must be approved in advance. Please provide companion documents if the animal is a pet.
