Vendors may set up 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 17, 2017. Set up Saturday, March 18, begins at 7:00 a.m .

All birds to be sold must be in good health. An avian veterinarian of our choosing will examine all birds at the fair. The vet check is scheduled for 9:00 a.m.; therefore all birds must be available for inspection in your space at this time. NO NEW BIRDS WILL BE ALLOWED INTO THE FAIR ONCE VET IS FINISHED. We reserve the right to remove any bird from the fair that is deemed to be in an unhealthy condition by the vet. The veterinarian’s decision is FINAL. Any bird deemed unhealthy must be placed in a carrier provided by vendor so it can be placed in a separate facility/area until the end of the fair. VENDOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF THE BIRD IF THIS IS DEEMED NECESSARY. All birds’ wings must be clipped. UNWEANED BABIES MAY NOT BE SOLD.

The veterinarian will be checking to see if vendors/birds meet these criteria:

  • Cages must be clean and in good condition (no rust or insects).
  • Fresh food and water must be supplied at all times.
  • Overcrowding in cages will not be tolerated.
  • Perches of proper size must be supplied in all cages with ample perch space for all birds.
  • Cages must be proper size for birds being displayed and MUST be able to contain your birds at all times including transporting to and from the expo.

Doors will be open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Nothing may be attached to any walls. Vendors are responsible for any damage they do to the building and are required to keep their area clean. Exterior doors may not be propped open during fair hours. Vendors will not break down exhibits until 4:00 p.m. and must vacate the building by 6:00 p.m. — no exceptions. Any vendor violating these restrictions will be asked to leave.

No table space will be guaranteed without full payment or if your paperwork is incomplete or missing. If need electricity, please bring your own extension cords. Vendors must supply their own table covers. Tables are 8 ft. long. Vendors may not sell food for human consumption. Children must be supervised at all times. If payment is not received by March 1, 2017, a money order will be required. TABLE RENTAL IS NON REFUNDABLE, NO sub-letting of tables will be permitted. Only vendors listed on the contract agreement will be granted a table space. If two vendors plan to share one table space, BOTH vendors must sign the table agreement.
