Booth spaces are for merchandise sales. Do not purchase a booth space and expect to park your car or trailer in it.

Each vendor is responsible for their own display materials, including tables, chairs, canopies, backdrops, as well as rain and sun protection.
Vendors are responsible for their own security measures. The Fair provides for limited night security. Liability is the responsibility of the vendor.

Prohibited- any noise generating mechanical or electromechanical device (such as a generator) that produces sound levels at or exceeding 65 dBA (with a tolerance of 5 dB at the discretion of Fair staff.) Generators at or below this level are permitted by arrangement but may affect your booth placement. Attention will also be paid to the exhaust produced by any device and its effect on nearby vendors and/or their products. The measurement is done with the Chamber’s sound level meter using A-weighting and SLOW response. Measurements will be three-feet or more from the booth perimeter and at a height above the ground of ear level of the Little Falls Area Chamber of Commerce sound monitor.  The measurement taken by Chamber staff with the Chamber’s sound meter will be considered the official measurement.
