All vendors are required to furnish their own fire extinguisher and must be visible at the time of the fire inspection, which will take place Thursday before 4 pm.

Any vendor not accepted will be notified by email. We reserve the right to limit the amount of vendors in each category. Donation fees are non-refundable once the Festival accepts a vendor.
If a violation occurs, a verbal warning will be issued. A second violation will result in a $25 fine. Any further offenses may result in additional fines and your removal. No form of gambling will be allowed. No illegal activities will be allowed.
The Frog Leg Festival, Inc. reserves the right to change or alter these Rules and Regulations or make exceptions and their lack of doing so does not constitute a waiver of that right.
