Food Vendors
Menu Selection Each participant is entitled to offer three (3) exclusive main food items. In the event of multiple entries received by APRIL 1, 2009, a lottery will be held to determine exclusivity. Vendors are welcome to attend the lottery to provide sufficient time to choose additional items. Side dishes will also be accepted, but on a first-come, first-served basis. To help you in your selection decisions, enclosed is a copy of the food items offered last year. Beverages (beer, wine, soda, water) will be exclusively offered by the Summer Celebration Committee; however, vendors may offer specialty beverages for an additional $250.00 fee. Exclusivity will be guaranteed by the Committee in the event of multiple entries received after APRIL 1, 2009. PLEASE NOTE: You will receive confirmation on the items for which you are granted exclusivity. ITEMS NOT ON YOUR CONFIRMATION, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED! Facilities Each booth is 10 x 10, with counters and sign posts and is located under the main tent. Hand sinks will be provided in the Food area, and access to a water source will also be available. Signage must be provided by the vendors, be generic in nature and be related to the vendor and specific foods offered. Signage should be attractive and readable for best results. Price sheets must be posted, visible and at least 11" x 17" in size. The tent will be facing the Main Stage area and offers chairs and tables for people to sit and enjoy foods offered by vendors. One twenty (20) amp circuit will be provided with four (4) electrical outlets – additional power can be supplied for an additional fee. Your electrical needs must be specific. For your convenience, we must know these electrical needs, in advance, so that wiring for your booth can be completed prior to your arrival. Our space and capacity are limited; any major equipment not specified in the application will not be allowed or accepted. Please use propane-based equipment whenever possible. Fees Food Vendor Booth Fee - $500.00 prior to APRIL 1, 2009;
$550.00 thereafter Vendor Specification Selection will be based on the following: First priority will be given to vendors who participated last year; second priority will be given to Streamwood businesses and finally, to all other businesses. Summer Celebration reserves the right of first refusal. Applications will be numbered upon receipt of application and fee. You may fax your application at 630/837-5426; however, exclusivity will only be considered upon receipt of completed application including payment. You will receive a confirmation letter listing your exclusive menu item(s) and booth position along with other necessary paperwork and information including times for equipment set-up, drop-off and access pass. Please return your application as soon as possible; however, no applications will be accepted after June 1, 2009. Health and Sanitation Meeting There will be a mandatory meeting (date to be determined) held for all food vendors and their association, in July, at the Streamwood Village Hall (301 E. Irving Park Road). The purpose of this meeting is to discuss food set-up requirements. Representatives from the Cook County Health Department and the Village Community Development Department will be available to answer any questions. PLEASE NOTE: At the conclusion of the event, you are responsible for cleaning up your space. Please pick-up all garbage and debris prior to leaving the festival grounds. If you need assistance, with garbage bags or rakes for this effort, please advise Public Works. Any questions, comments or suggestions can be referred to Carol Dykstra at 630/736-3800 ext. 3802. We will make every effort to provide assistance or guidance in order to make your participation a pleasurable experience. With your cooperation and participation, we look forward to another great fest!
