Electrical facilities and lighting are NOT available at this site. Exhibitors needing electricity will need to provide their own generators.
Exhibitor Selection:
Apple Valley Freedom Days organizers will select applications with an eye toward maximizing the participants’ experiences, considering, in its sole judgment, criteria such as: variety and quality of products/services, balance among targeted categories, balance of price ranges, contribution to an eclectic atmosphere, and appropriateness for family entertainment. You will be notified of selection within 7 working days of receipt of your application. At that point you may send your payment once your application is approved.

Family Fun Night and the Business Fair will not be held in severe inclement weather. Cancellation is at the discretion of the Apple Valley Freedom Days committee. A refund of the exhibitor fee will be issued only if the event is canceled by the Freedom Days Committee. Tents must be secured using sandbags rather than stakes.

You must provide your Minnesota Sales Tax Number to the Apple Valley Freedom Days committee and, on request, a copy of Minnesota’s Operator Certificate of Compliance.
Liability Insurance:
Each exhibitor is strongly encouraged to carry business liability insurance or, at least, a rider on his/her homeowner’s insurance policy that covers and damages or injury to property, staff, customers or others who might be harmed. The Freedom Days Committee neither offers nor carries insurance covering damage or injury resulting from exhibitors’ actions, products, services, decisions or negligence. The Freedom Days Committee reserves the right to require an exhibitor to carry specific insurance in situations it deems appropriate.
All exhibitors are responsible for maintaining their booths and the area immediately outside their booths so as to minimize any risk of injury to the public or others present at Family Fun Night.

Exhibitors will remain in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, codes and regulations. Lack of compliance may result in expulsion from the vendor fair.
