Welcome to Mike the Headless Chicken! Please familiarize yourself with our vendor application process. Attractions include bouncy houses, slides, etc.
 
Unfortunately, Mike the Headless Chicken cannot accept every applicant for our festival. All applicants will be juried by a committee of special event representatives with the following criteria.
 
Quality of product
  • When judging quality, the City of Fruita reserves the right, in the interest of the Festival and participants and other vendors, to refuse any vendor applicant or to reject any vendor from participation at any time during the festival when quality has been compromised.  
Balance of product/service mix
  • The City of Fruita reserves the right to determine the mix of products and services that will be offered at the festival, balancing product types and vendor experience.  
History of business partnerships
  • The City of Fruita recruits vendors that have good references from other partnerships.  In the event that a vendor applicant has never sold at the festival before, the city may require an interview to determine whether the possible vendor has the integrity of product and customer service skills required.  
  • A vendor at the Festival is expected to be consistently able and interested in meeting customers graciously and with a desire to share product information willingly. A history of contentiousness with customers, other vendors, or Festival staff will rule out participation in this Festival.
This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.
