Food Concessionaire Application Information
The 2008 Amador County Fair will be held July 24 through July 27. Fair hours are: Thursday and Sunday: 9 a.m. to 12 midnight; Friday and Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Booths must be staffed during the following hours: 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Thursday and Sunday, and 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
It is the policy of the Board of Directors of the Amador County Fair to allow prior participants the first opportunity to the commercial space rental. Contracts to last years’ participants are mailed out in January and are due back by March. As commercial spaces become available, Fair Management will review the new applications to fill vacancies. Acceptance will be made by phone. Those vendors not accepted will be notified by mail and will be kept on the waiting list for two years. It is also the policy of the Board of Directors not to duplicate merchandise/vendors.
Fees for concession spaces are a percentage of gross sales after taxes. A health permit fee (Amador County = $32) and a safe-food handling certificate are required. Deposits and cancellation fees will apply. Vendor passes are available at the reduced rate of $3 per person per day and season parking passes are available for $12 for the duration of the fair. Limited RV & camping sites are available upon a request at the rate of $75 per site for the duration of the fair (which includes one vehicle pass). All fees are subject to change.
All vendors must provide insurance – minimum of $1’000’000 general liability per occurrence, naming the Amador County Fair as additional insured. If a vendor can not provide their own, it may be purchased through California Fairs & Services Authority (CFSA).
