INSURANCE:  All renters of space must furnish proof of liability insurance or purchase it from the Humboldt County Fair.  Proof of insurance must be in the office by August 1st or we will purchase insurance for you and bill you accordingly.

DUPLICATION:  We strive to keep duplication of products at a minimum.  Although there may be duplicate types of merchandise, we will try to place like exhibits in such a manner that they do not conflict with each other. 

RESERVATIONS:  Prior to Jan. 1st, firm reservations for space will be granted only to selected commercial exhibitors and concessionaires from the 2007 Fair.  Beginning Jan. 15th, vacancies will be allocated to newcomers.  Preference will be given to those with unique, attractive products which do not duplicate those already booked.  There will be a limited number of spaces available for information booths.  The Humboldt County Fair reserves the right to refuse space to any applicant and/or former exhibitor. 

SET-UP, TEAR-DOWN:  Exhibits must be in place by 10:30 a.m. on the first day of the fair.  Exhibits are open to the public from 11:00 to 9:00 daily, except on the last Sunday when exhibits may be torn down and removed beginning at 8:00 p.m.  Booths must be manned during fair hours.

MATERIALS AND DECORATIONS:   Only non-combustible or flame-proof materials may be used.  Exhibitors need to furnish their own materials and decorations.   The Fair does not provide tables, chairs, extension cords, water hoses or any other material.  A recycle bin will be available for cardboard use only.
