MONROE - Green County Cheese Days is expanding the area for commercial vendors to sell items or promote their businesses at tables or booths during the festival planned for September 17-19. Several vendors from 2008 reported great sales and have said this is a show they would not miss.
Booths in this prime area adjacent to the festival grounds (Monroe Library Parking Lot) can be reserved for $160 per space, or $100 per space for non-profit organizations (proof of non-profit status required).
Booth size is approximately 12 feet wide (frontage) x 10 feet deep.
All booths are on asphalt. There is no electricity available. Booths will be available Friday evening beginning at 4 p.m. through Sunday at 6 p.m.
There are two time options for set-up: between 4-5 p.m. on Friday night (no vendor vehicles on the lot after 5 p.m. on Friday) OR anytime Saturday morning prior to 9 a.m. (no vendor vehicles on the lot after 9 a.m.).
All materials must be removed by 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Hours of operation are Friday 5-8 p.m. (or skip Friday completely and just do the weekend), Saturday 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (You are welcome to stay later on Friday and Saturday evening, but lighting may be an issue in your booth - the area does have some overhead streetlamp lights.) Vendors are responsible for their own tables, chairs, canopies/tents and weights, and there is no drilling allowed.
Examples of the types of businesses and vendors that WILL be accepted as Commercial Vendors are: independent distributors (Avon, Tupperware, Lia Sophia, etc.), flea market/resale, cell phone companies, antique dealers, service businesses (home improvements, insurance) and any business or organization wishing to promote their products or services.
The following items are not allowed in the commercial vendor spaces: no clothing promoting the festival, no hand-crafted items, no arts and crafts, no farmer's market items, and no garden produce.
Cheese Days already sells these items or offers other spaces for those categories. Contact the Cheese Days office if you are interested in being part of the Arts and Crafts show. Contact Monroe Main Street at (608) 328-4023 if you are interested in information about the Farmer's Market.
Also NOT allowed: food or beverage stands. Exceptions include: recipe ingredients, or pre-packaged items designed so that food items can be consumed at a later time.
Examples of food items that are allowed include dip mixes, dried fruits in packages to go, jerky shrink-wrapped in packs, energy drinks or health supplements in cans or bottles, or roasted nuts in packages to go.
Those interested in applying for space in the commercial vendor area are invited to fill out an application form. Forms are available online at www.cheesedays.com, or request one from the Cheese Days office.
Applications are subject to the final approval of the Cheese Days executive board. Booth rental fee is required at the time of application.
Booth assignments will be processed in the order that they are received.
Upon receipt of application and fee an acknowledgment will be made via phone, mail, or e-mail.
