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.

Food Vendor Booth Fee - $500.00 prior to APRIL 1, 2009;

Vendor Specification

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!
