Manufactured Items: If you have a manufactured item that supplements & works together with your primary handmade product (i.e.: a manufactured burner that complements your handmade scented wax cubes), please contact us via email to discuss so we can determine if this is acceptable. We will require that the manufactured product is less than 25% of your total inventory. Vendors in violation of this rule will be asked to pack up such items immediately.

Food Items: All food must be prepared in a permitted commercial kitchen or under the current Cottage Food laws. Items offered for sale may not be typical "concession" items, including, but not limited to, soft drinks, bottled water, coffee, popcorn, hot dogs, candy bars, nachos, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Vendors giving samples must also obtain a temporary health permit. To learn more & apply for a temporary health permit visit https://www.midlandtexas.gov/749/Environmental-Services. If you are not offering samples AND all of your food items are shelf-stable and prepackaged, you do not need to obtain a temporary health permit. If samples are pre-packaged, unopened, and don't require refrigeration, you do not need a temporary health permit; however, you must have labeled samples stating that items are made in a home kitchen (not a commercial kitchen). If you require a health permit and do not apply for one before the event, you are in violation of our terms as well as the city of Midland's requirements.

Cottage Foods: Per the Texas Department of State Health Services, cottage foods must be correctly packaged & labeled. The food must be packaged in a manner that prevents product contamination, except for foods that are too large or bulky for conventional packaging. The labeling information for foods that are not packaged must be provided to the consumer on an invoice or receipt. The label must include the information listed on the Texas Department State Health Services Website at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/.

Check-In & Setup: Setup times are Friday, May 10th, 8 am to 3 pm. All participating vendors must check in at the designated area BEFORE unloading & setting up. A staggered load-in will be established. Check your email for your start time. Vendors must arrive on time for the event so that when it starts, you'll be ready to go. You MAY NOT tear down early for any reason. This is unfair to fellow vendors, attendees & organizers. All vendors must be broken down and out of the building before 9 pm on Saturday. Any vendor in violation will pay five hundred dollars ($500.00) PER HOUR that the space is occupied payable to the City of Midland.

Electricity: Electricity is included in the cost of your booth with access to outlets every 20ft (please bring your own extension cord).
