FAIRGROUNDS

• The Grundy County Fairgrounds is a large open area and has extensive parking for vendors and visitors.
• Restroom facilities, port-a-potties, and concessions will be available. Your own Trash containers are required, it is your responsibility to use them and clean up your space. Vendors who leave trash behind will not be invited back.
• Due to insurance restrictions, NO generators/outside electrical sources allowed. Limited inside areas have electricity!
• The Fairgrounds are fully fenced in; you will be able to enter through the main CENTER gate to set-up and Park in designated areas. IF your vehicle will fit in your ‘outside’ space (without infringing on the person next to you or the aisle), you will be allowed to keep the vehicle with you.
• No food cart/trailer entries will be allowed, due to the Fairgrounds having their concession stand open.
