Dear Vendor,

Welcome to the 2018 North Carolina Strawberry Festival. Last year’s festival had an attendance in excess of 10,000 festival goers. We expect this year’s festival to be even larger and would like for you to be involved.

The fee for food vendors (vendors who are inspected by health department) will be $225.00 and no more than six food vendors will be accepted, non-health department inspected food vendors will be 125.00, craft vendors $75.00 and roving carts will be $40.00 per cart. Tables will not be provided and you will not be able to rent tables. Cash, money orders or certified checks will be accepted, no personal checks.

The festival will provide on site water. No power will be provided this year, therefore if you need power you must bring your own generator. Vendors will not be able to sell silly string, spray putty or anything of its likeness. Health inspectors will be on site the day of the festival and all of their requirements must be met (Health Department application and requirement sheet included). If you do not comply with the above, you will be asked to leave immediately, with no refund. ***Please remember to complete the TEMPORARY FOOD SERIVCE PERMIT APPLICATION and mail along with the prevailing fee that the Columbus County Health Department requires for inspection***.

Registration will be at the vendor grounds beside Food Lion shopping center on Strawberry Blvd. between the hours of 7:30 and 9:00 AM on May 5, 2018. For early setup on Friday, May 4th please contact me at the telephone number below. We will have entertainment in the evening, call us for more information. Your location will be provided at this time.

If you wish to participate in this year’s festival, please complete the enclosed application for food by April 16 2018 and for craft vendors by April 18, 2018. Additional craft vendors may be accepted if space is available after this date.

Thank-you for your interest in the North Carolina Strawberry Festival and we hope to see you on May 5th . ***One day event only***
