Inquiry Form Review

• The vendors' merchandise and information will be reviewed by AFO to establish if it follows the Vendor Room Terms and Conditions. All merchandise must adhere to the rules as mentioned above and in the contract.  A vendor may be accepted, but required to remove certain items that do not fall within the rules.

• The vendor must provide an example of the booth display and accompanying merchandise that they will be setting up in the Vendor Room. This will be used to assign booth placement if the vendor is accepted. If a vendor has set up in a Vendor Room before, a photograph will provide the simplest example. If the vendor is setting up a new display, or has not displayed in a Vendor Room before, a photo or drawing of the proposed display will suffice. The vendor may be asked for more detailed explanation or further proof.
