Vendor FAQs
Level 1 would be a small beverage (water or soda) vendor with a pop-up tent, table, and minimal beverage equipment.
Level 2 would be considered a medium vendor with a few menu items. These type of vendors might offer elephant ears, snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn, for example.
Level 3 would be considered a full menu vendor and may have a food truck, trailer, or other larger equipment within which they prepare the food. For example, these type of vendors might serve burgers, hot dogs, BBQ, french fries, or sandwiches.

We will need to discuss your menu prior to registration. We must have as few repeat items as possible, so every vendor does well no matter where they are positioned within the event.
You must be registered and licensed with the state and health department. You must also submit your certificate of insurance that lists Mason Outdoor Expo and the Ingham County Fairgrounds on the policy.
Please send proof of insurance with Mason Outdoor Expo and Ingham County Fairgrounds on the policy to info@masonoutdoorexpo.com

Grills are allowed only for our insured food vendors. Grills are too dangerous for kids, and we want to avoid stepping on the toes of our food vendors who pay for their spaces and require this type of equipment.
Generators can be used in specific areas if there is no power available. We need to know your plug configuration at least a week before the event so we can let you know if you need an adaptor. All generators must be quiet not to disrupt the ambiance of the activities during the event.
Absolutely; please look us up on Facebook and use our event page to invite whoever you want. This works great for reminding them shortly before the event as well. If you have good event pics, please feel free to share them on Facebook and tag us or email them to us. Please note by sending us photos you took during the event, you are giving us permission to use them in future marketing efforts as we see fit. Email your images to info@masonoutdoorexpo.com
We love feedback, but if it is not an emergency on the day of the event, please email us your positive and negative feedback: info@masonoutdoorexpo.com

Before the event we will need to discuss which direction you will serve from and what type of equipment (trailer, food truck, etc.) you have. If you have a trailer, the logistics should be discussed and figured out on the Friday before the event. If you use a pop-up tent or a food truck, you will set up Saturday morning before 9 am.
If you have a small amount of trash that fits into a can, that will be fine. If you have many bags and boxes, please ask where the dumpster is so you can drop them off on your way out.
We highly recommend you be prepared for any type of weather as this is a rain-or-shine event, so pop-up tents, tables, chairs, umbrellas, banners, etc., are allowed as long as it all fits within your dedicated booth space.
