Dear Vendor,
The Hangtown
Motocross Classic has a rich tradition of being Northern
California’s premier motocross event for 39 years. Hangtown, and
the sport of motocross, have gone mainstream in the last few years,
attracting over 26,000 spectators (in 2007), and is broadcast for
television. These four days of racing offer a unique and lucrative
business opportunity for a vendor.
Hangtown
offers three vending areas: West, North, and East. With new viewing
areas and track changes for ’08, each vending area will be located
adjacent to high density spectator areas. All three areas will also
have series-wide “anchor” vendors that will draw large crowds to
each area. In other words, each vending area will be considered
“main” vending areas.
Attached to
our vendor contract is a list of vending rules. Please read this
thoroughly. Because of series-wide contracts we have with certain
vendors, there are restrictions and limitations as to the products
that you can sell. On the vendor contract, there is a line that asks
for full disclosure of the type and brand of products you wish to
sell at Hangtown. Please take extra time to fill this out
completely. Attach a separate sheet if necessary. This will avoid
any last-minute confusion or embarrassment at the race. Additional
results of Hangtown’s growth are this year’s deadline for vendor
contracts and space restrictions. Contracts are due April 18.
Also, due to
the overwhelming congestion in the vendor expo area in the past,
booth spaces will be exact size (10’x10’ or 10’x20’…etc)
and there is no guarantee of a parking spot in the expo area.
I look forward
to seeing you at Hangtown 2008. Feel free to e-mail me with any
questions: bobmssr@yahoo.com.
Phone (530) 320-1566
Best Regards,
Bob Messer,
DDNMC

Hangtown
2008 Vending Rules
1. This
is a 4 day show. You are required to give advanced notice if you
only plan on being present for portions of the event, otherwise I
will assume you are a “no-show” and the spot reserved for you
will be given away to someone on “standby.” We do not give
refunds for “no shows.” Please show up during the scheduled set
up hours at least to claim your space.
2. Vendor
passes do not include camping passes. Camping passes may be
purchased in the overnight camping area. For security, there is no
camping in the vendor area.
3. No
food or drinks may be sold.
4.
Hangtown is held in a state park. NO: glass, animals, bicycles or
pit motorcycles are allowed. All state laws will be enforced by law
enforcement personnel.
5.
Absolutely no apparel displaying an image of a motorcycle, or any
item displaying the Hangtown name will be allowed to be sold on the
premises. Limited apparel is allowed to be sold, but do to our
exclusive agreement with an apparel supplier, some items will not be
allowed. Any item with your companies logo will be acceptable, if
you’re not sure if what you are selling is allowed to be sold,
please ask ahead of time. This includes hard goods and motorcycle
parts. This is why it is very important to send a list of items to
be sold with your contract.
6.
There is no guarantee of parking for your car in or near the vendor
area; usually it is filled up before you get there, so plan
accordingly. A confirmation letter containing your vendor tickets,
parking pass and directions and a site map will be mailed just prior
to the event.
7.
Vendors are responsible for removal of all trash associated with
their booths. Dumpsters will be provided.
