Walker Co show:
If you are not licensed in the state of Georgia you will have to purchase a one day permit from them and be inspected. Best if you are a Georgia food truck but not limited to it.
Kid Entrepreneurs:
‘The kids booths are just that. Your parents are not allowed to help other than setting up and breaking down. If you have trouble they can step in if need too. Please be the ages between 7 years and 16. Anyone over that will need to purchase a regular booth.
ATTENTION PARENTS:
PLESE DO NOT WORK THE BOOTH YOU SIGNED UP UNDER YOUR CHILDS NAME. YOUR CHILD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE DOING THE SELLING. IF YOU ARE FOUND WORKING THE BOOTH AND YOUR CHILD IS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN THEN WE WILL ASSUME YOU ARE GUILTY OF SIGNING UP UNDER FALSE PRETENSE JUST TO GET THE BOOTH AT A LOWER RATE THAN THE REGULAR BOOTHS AND YOU WILL BE HELD LIABLE FOR PAYING THE DIFFERENCE OF THE BOOTH OR BEING ASKED TO LEAVE THE VENUE IF YOU REFUSE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE, WHICH WILL FORFEIT ANY FUTURE BOOTHS YOU MAY HAVE BOOKED UNDER YOUR CHILDS NAME. PARENTS ARE ONLY THERE TO HELP SET THE TENT AND TABLES AND IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS MATHEMATICAL HELP WITH A CUSTOMER. OTHER WISE YOU NEED TO STAY IN THE BACKGROUND. SO PLEASE DO NOT LET ME CATCH YOU WORKING THE BOOTH. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS WATCHING OR WHEN I WILL SHOW UP.
‘Adult vendors: these are kids and I am not going to limit them on getting a booth. So if they do something like you do then let them do it. Who knows…you may learn something from them.
K&S will do as much as we can to advertise our events. This will include billboards, signage (that is allowed by the city and the park) news channel, social media and more. But you can also help by sharing it on your social media too.
