    Vendors MUST provide a certificate of insurance naming the TOWN OF SCHERERVILLE, THE SCHERERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS DULY AUTHORIZED AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES as certificate as the certificate holder and additional insured one month prior to the event (please see below for more details).  Please refer to the enclosed sample for minimum limits of coverage required by the town.

Vendors are expected to operate during event hours. Vendors will not be allowed to set up or operate if all requirements are not met and are subject to inspection by local fire department officials.  Application and food items sold are subject to approval.

THE BIG No Nos
(a list of things that is unacceptable and will have you removed from future shows and all monies lost)
 
1. Leaving Early
Tearing down early seems to be a trend at many other locations but not Schererville. This is extremely disrespectful to all parties involved and flat out rude. I understand things happen and you may need to leave but communication is required WITH Recreation Director (Josh) to accommodate that.
 
2. Arriving Late
Each event starts at a specific time, your booth space should be ready for business 30 minutes before event starts. Ready for Business means that someone should be at the booth/truck and it should be opened for business.
 
3. Parking Incorrectly
This is HUGE! Parking is a premium with our events and some think they are exempt from this. If you have a request in regards to parking then you must speak with me (DON’T ASSUME). Every parking spot taken up by a crafter/vendor in customer parking is one less customer for you to see.
 
4. Respect
Every person and THING deserves this. BE KIND, please.
The  No Nos above are the specific policies that seem to always have to be reiterated every year. These things WE WILL NOT TOLERATE. We must have structure or you won’t succeed. Keep in mind we are very accommodating but you MUST communicate.
 
INDEMNIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
The Vendor shall hold harmless and indemnify the Town of Schererville and the Schererville Parks and Recreation Board, and all authorized agents and employees from any and all liability and or claims due to use or consumption of the Vendor’s products or due to damage and or theft of Vendor’s vehicles, equipment, merchandise, goods, and ware kept upon premises in conjunction with the event.

I, the Vendor assume the entire responsibility and liability for losses, damages, and claims arising out of injury or damage to the Vendor's unit, display, equipment and other property brought onto the Town's premises in this event/program, and agree to waive and relinquish all claims that I or the participants may have as a result of participating in the event/program against the above named entity and its agents, officers, servants, and employees, including any and all such losses, damages and claims arising out of such use.
 
I, the participant ("The Vendor") in this event/program agree to fully release and discharge the above named and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims for injuries, including death, damage or loss which the vendor, its employees, or any participants may have or which occur to me or the participants on account of participation in the above programs.
