Shakopee Derby Days 2012 Food Vendor Information
Welcome to Shakopee Derby Days!
August 1-5, 2012
My name is David McGovern, concessions chair for Shakopee Derby Days and Minnesota Department of Health certified food manager. Derby Days, which is being held August 1-5, is now accepting registrations for both returning and new food vendors.
Derby Days events will be held in picturesque Huber Park, on the Minnesota Riverfront in Shakopee. Food vendors will be located in the designated food court area. Derby Days seeks food vendors that offer unique, interesting, and crowd-pleasing offerings that may differ from what one finds at a local fast food chain.
Please complete the food vendor contract and submit with the non-refundable payment no later than June 29. A $100 late fee is applicable if after June 29. Derby Days requires that pictures, pricing, and other information be submitted (see contract checklist) with the payment and application. No application will be considered without all items in the contract checklist submitted correctly. Items for sale must be approved by the concessions chair and/or Shakopee Derby Days, Inc. Any change of food items requires prior written permission. Confirmations returned with food item approvals will be sent by July 10. Refusals will be notified by mail within 10 days.
We hope that you join us for another great year at Shakopee Derby Days. Thank you for your interest and hope to see you in August!
