FOOD RULES

GROVE CITY STRAWBERRY DAYS IN THE PARK                                                        

                                           JUNE 11, 12, & 13 2010

This is now our “20^th year for Strawberry Days and again it is going to be  in Memorial Park.  As the Planning Committee has started our planning of 2010 Festival the rules have changed so please read all the pages carefully.  This is our “sixth year” in the park and we are continuing to make improvements to make this event better for you and for the Strawberry Festival. 

The food tent will be placed at the same place, on the right side of  the loop that borders the high school. We will continue to have the participation of as many non-profit groups as we can accommodate under the “food tent”.   At this time we are planning on 22 sites so applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, with no two foods alike.  You may also sell soft drink in your booth.

The Committee along with the Boy Scouts will be working on the booths in the food court starting Monday June 7^h at 5:30pm, ever evening (weather permitting)  laying out and building the booths.  If you and your group would like to help with this we could use your help any night. 

Set-ups for your food booths will begin on Thursday, the 10^th, at 5PM until dark and Friday morning starting at 8:00am.  Hours of the festival are Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Sunday 11:00AM to 4:00 PM. Because of limited lighting on the park grounds all events will conclude by 9 PM.  Parking for the food booths will

be available on the high school property near the tree line.  You may unload next to the tent but, MUST move and park your cars behind the trees.  No cars can be parked between the trees and the tent.  If you are in the front of the tent you may unload in front and then park behind the tree line.  You need to enter at the high school and follow

the drive around and into the grassy area.  Other alternate parking areas will be established in the event that wet weather makes it impossible to access the grassy area.

It is a MUST that you follow ALL the rules in your booth.  Some of the rules have changed so be sure to read all of our information.  We are asking each participating group to carefully plan so that no unnecessary appliances are used. Specific electrical requirements are included in the attached letter. The Borough has agreed to make additional electrical improvements as needed.  Please read the electric rules carefully and if you have any questions, please contact the Festival’s electrical helper, Jim McCarl.

The cost this year for each vendor, for the 3 days event will be $115.00.   Please complete the application and enclose a check for $l15.00 payable to Grove City Strawberry Days.  Retain a copy of the application for your records and return the original application to:
