UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL

UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL

VENDOR APPLICATION

 

THIS APPLICATION IS A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UKRAINIAN CONGRESS COMMITTEE OF AMERICA, ILLINOIS DIVISION (HENCEFORTH REFERRED TO AS “UCCA”) AND THE VENDOR.

 

Please read carefully; there are major changes this year.

 

 

General Information

 

Ukrainian Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 18 and 19, 2007. The festival will begin at noon and will finish each day at 10:00 pm. The festival will be held in Smith Park (2526 W. Grand Avenue –intersection of Grand and Rockwell). Pre-paid vendor locations will be reserved until 1:00 on Saturday unless prior arrangements are made with UCCA.  Each vendor will have pre-assigned locations at the festival.

 

The festival staff of the UCCA provides vending tables, booths, and chairs for each vendor. Each vendor agrees to take all steps necessary to return the tables, chairs and booths in the same condition, and in the same number, as delivered by the festival staff of the UCCA. In the event that any table, chair or booth is damaged, destroyed, or stolen, the vendor agrees to compensate the UCCA for such damage upon presentation of a loss statement by the festival staff. Any such loss of festival property may bar the vendor from attendance at a subsequent Ukrainian Festival for a period of 1 (one) year.

 

All vendors at the festival are advised that parking of vehicles on the festival grounds is strictly and expressly prohibited pursuant to Chicago Park District Regulations. The placement of a vehicle is a violation of the permit issued to the UCCA for the festival by the Park District officials. THE FESTIVAL STAFF WILL STRICTLY ENFORCE THE NO PARKING RULE WITH ASSISTANCE OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT, IF NECESSARY. Since this festival is family oriented, it is forbidden to sell clothing (T-shirts, etc.) or other items that contain obscenities or anything deemed offensive by the UCCA. By executing this application, a non-food vendor agrees to remove and discontinue sale of any item deemed offensive by the festival committee of the UCCA. Failure to do so will give a rise to a forfeiture of all payments made to the UCCA and shall bar the non-food vendor from further attendance at a subsequent Ukrainian Festival for a period of 1 (one) year.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR FOOD VENDORS ONLY

 

All food vendors must have the appropriate festival food vending permits issued by the City of Chicago. Food vendors who wish to rent facilities from UCCA have a choice of either 10’x10’ vending booths with counters or 15’x15’ vending booths with counters. Food vendors using their own facilities must ensure that wood blocks and/or thick plywood sheets are beneath all tires of mobile vending facilities (failure to comply may result in your removal by the Park District). For food vendors using UCCA-supplied booths, electrical power, illumination, and hand washing facilities will be provided at no additional charge; for food vendors using own vending facilities, hand washing facility access is provided at no charge, with power and illumination hook-up incurring an additional cost.

No bottle beverages may be sold. All glass bottle beverages must be transferred into a plastic cup. SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT REGULATIONS. VIOLATORS WILL BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, HAVING THEIR BOOTH CLOSED DOWN, FORFEITURE OF ALL PAYMENTS MADE, AND OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL AUTHORITIES.

The City of Chicago requires that we submit a Temporary Food Vendor License Application for each food vendor. You will be charged $25 for this. 50% non-refundable deposit and registration fee are to be made no later than June 1; the balance is due on July 1. If full payment is not received by July 1, you may be excluded from Ukrainian Festival and may lose your non-refundable deposit. In the event the festival is cancelled prior to the scheduled dates of the Festival only, the UCCA shall return all refundable deposits or payments made (the 50% non-refundable deposit and registration fee shall not be returned).
