[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 1904941, member: 23"] The Fair used to be about the kids and having fun. Now it's about making a buck. I had to work at the fair before I retired and I couldn't believe how much the vendors were getting charged for being there. License fee from City Licensing. Permit fee from the Fire Department if you had a tent or cooking with propane or using any flammable device for display. Fee for vendor space. Fee for cubic foot space for vendor space if you used more than you were "allowed." Tax Commission Charges. Required to use cash register rented by the fair so they could see how much you made and charge a percentage of your profit. Health department licensing if you sell food. Beer licensing. I'm sure I missed a few cause I've been out of it since 2007, but one whole building is dedicated just for sign in and licensing for the vendors. [/QUOTE]
