About the application

If you have never been a Food Vendor at the Expo, but I would like to apply. Use this application.
 
The Jackson County Expo and its facilities are used/rented almost every week of the year… this brings people and people need food! As an Event Facility, we strive to maintain a solid roster of stellar food vendors… enabling both the Expo and interim event producers to find the perfect food vendor for their specific needs.
 
 Please fill out the application completely; any missing sections will require us to decline the application. If you have any questions, contact Stephanie Burrell, Jackson County Expo Food Vendor Coordinator, at stephanie.burrell@jacksoncountyor.gov or 541-774-8281.
 
 Our food vendor committee carefully juries the food vendor applications. Our focus will be on food vendors with a professional appearance (trailers/trucks are ideal) that provide diverse food options for our fairground guests, and food vendors to have experience in fast-paced environments with events with large attendance numbers.
 
All food vendors must have a physically and visually enclosed kitchen and prep area and meet all Jackson County Health Department regulations for food preparation.
 
This application is neither an offer nor a guarantee of space.
