Thank you for your interest in participating in the
2009 OC Super Fair. As we
prepare to present the 118th year of the OC Fair, we are always looking
for the “best
of the best” vendors in the industry.
Starting this year, a new on-line application for commercial and
concession vendors has been developed. This new on-line application process is a start in
creating an automated system to more effectively and efficiently conduct business
between the OC Fair & Event Center and our vendors. As
we invest in the latest technologies to develop new systems it is
necessary to off-set these costs with a non-refundable application
fee.
The non-refundable application fee is $50.00. Applications are not
offers or a guarantee of space. It is simply an application
to be considered as a vendor.
Following the completion of your application, the review process
takes considerable time, so we appreciate the patience of all applicants.
You will be contacted by email when decisions are made. Please do not call to check on the status
of your application or whether it arrived. A receipt will be
emailed to the applicant confirming the receipt of your application.
Below is additional important information about the application process:
- Participants from the previous Fair are evaluated and may be
offered space in next year’s fair before choosing from
new applications.
- Applications & products are juried on their
own merit, not on a first come, first served basis.
- New applicants
must submit photos or brochures of booth and products. Product
selection is at the sole discretion of fair management.
- Returning
applicants need not submit photos or brochures unless there have
been significant changes in booth/stand layout or a request for
new/additional products.
- Photos, samples, artist renderings or
promotional materials will not be returned.
- All food concession
stands are required to submit menus & pricing
with their application for approval
Selection Process: Applications are reviewed and selected
based on the following:
- Space availability
- Value to fair guests
- Product balance within the fair
- Uniqueness and appeal of product
- Appearance of display/booth
- Prior experience
- Evaluation scores (returning applicants only)
2009 OC Fair vendor fees and guidelines plan to be posted on the
OC Fair website starting in November.
