Vendor Information and Application

This year will mark the 10th annual Mt. Magazine International Butterfly Festival.
We would like to invite you to participate in our spectacular festival.

Vendor guidelines are listed below.

1. TIME SCHEDULE.

Friday 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.


This time schedule is the MINIMUM requirement you are required to follow. This is necessary to assure that all festival attendees have an opportunity to shop and all vendors have the largest customer pool available. No exceptions will be made; however you may open earlier and stay later if you wish.

2. VENDOR lTEMS. Photographs and a list of all items you intend to sell are required. Please mail this information to the Paris Chamber office. Only items approved by the Vendor Selection Committee will be allowed. Although we do make every effort to avoid duplication of items, it is not always possible to assure no no duplicate items will be sold. This usually is not a problem, but sometimes a secondary item slips through.

3. BOOTHS. Booth spaces are 10 ft x 10 ft.
If you need more room you must purchase another space.

  • Spaces are $50.00
    (Electricity is available) *electricity extra
  • Food Spaces - $100.00
    If your trailer is more than 10 ft., you'll need more than one space. *electricity extra
  • 4. ELECTRICITY. *Electricity costs are:
    10 amps of 110 electricity: $15.00
    10 amps of 220 electricity: $20.00


    We recommend a 100-foot extension cord for anyone wanting to use electricity.
    All electricity will wire directly into the breaker box.

    6. RESERVATIONS. Spaces will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Electrical spaces are limited
    Deadline is June 12th, 2006.

    7. EQUIPMENT. The vendor must provide tables, chairs and other equipment. Generators are not allowed.

    8. SET UP. Set up times will be on Friday, June 23rd, 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. All vendors must be setup and ready for business by 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

    9. SECURITY. A security guard will be provided from closing on Friday evening until 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.

    10. SALES TAX. Act 370 of 1995 requires promoters and organizers of special events to register for sales tax collection. Those vendors who have sales tax numbers and regularly do business will continue to collect and remit just as they have in the past. If you do not have a sales tax number you will be given a reporting form at vendor registration. At the end of the festival you will compute the sales tax to be remitted, write a check to the DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION for the amount of the tax, then place the check and form in the envelope provided. Return the envelope to the Information Booth.
