THE 5th ANNUAL BLUE RIBBON BACON TOUR AT KEYSTONE IS TRULY A CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS BACON! THIS

Festival and Menu Guidelines:

All menu items must contain bacon and be a 3-4 ounce serving, no more no less. (sample size)

No beverages are to be sold at the vendor tents, the main bar will sell all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Each item you serve will be exchanged for one tasting ticket, to the consumer there will be no monetary value to
the ticket. However, for each ticket you turn in you will receive $3. It is important that the item you are offering
is worth this price to the consumer but covers the cost of the goods you are providing.

*Prepare between 1,500 – 2,000 samples for the festival weekend. It is important that you not run out of product.
This festival has seen tremendous growth from year 1 to year 4 and we only anticipate it to continue to grow.
o Last year’s average was 1,055 samples, but several vendors did between 1,500 -1,900

**Farmland Foods is this year’s official sponsor for the food vendor tents and will be providing up to 45lbs of their
bacon at no charge to help with your bacon creations. Please indicate how much your recipe(s) will call for on your
application below. If you need additional bacon, we ask that you use Farmland and indicate on your application if
you will be needing to order extra. Farmland will be working with us to get all vendors a special discounted price
for their additional bacon needs. More info to come……
* We will keep an eye on ticket sales leading up to the event and convey any information regarding the need to increase or
decrease the amount of samples you should prepare for the weekend.

KEYSTONE BLUE RIBBON BACON TOUR 2015
Booth Space Guidelines:
A single booth is 10x10. Vendors are to provide their own freestanding display booth, with a minimum of 40lb weights
attached to EACH leg and to the canopy in an approved manner (ex: ratchet straps, high quality rope). All spaces are on
pavement outside. Concession trailers will be considered as a double booth space. If exhibitors request a 10x10 space, the
booth must completely fit within the 10x10 parameters or you will be charged as a double booth.
Post-festival security is NOT provided. Parking will be available in the FREE River Run parking lot. No overnight camping is
prohibited in this lot.
Booth placement is determined by the Event Department and previous placement does not determine placement for 2015.
We take into consideration all the needs of the vendor when deciding placement as well as the order in which an
application was received. You will be provided with a map the week leading up to the festival with your location.
Health Department Guidelines:
All food vendors must have a current retail food license from the State of Colorado. If you need to obtain an in-state
temporary event license contact Steve at the Summit County Public Health Department at 970.668.4070. Please include a
copy of your license with your application.
All food vendors must complete the Summit County PH Vendor Application along with your Food Exhibitor Application and
return both to the Keystone Neighbourhood Company. You can find a link to this form on our website or I can email it to
you.
Electricity:
Power is available for an additional fee and will be provided only to those exhibitors who paid for electricity in advance.
We will also not provide extension cords, power strips, cable ramps, etc. You will need to provide these items. Not all
power sources are close to the booths so you may need to plug in much farther down from your booth. Bring at least one
100’ extension cord and one power strip.
Clean up:
All vendors are responsible for their 10x10 footprint during the festival weekend. Any debris, grease, bagged garbage that
is left in the area after you vacate will result in a $50 clean up fee. We encourage you to bring cardboard or any floor
covering that will help eliminate grease stains on our concrete.
Set-up & Tear down:
Set up will take place on Friday, June 26th from 3pm-5pm or Saturday, June 27th from 8am-10am. Vendors will NOT be able
to drive in the village at any other time except for these designated hours. Tear down will occur on Sunday, June 28th after
6pm. Vendors will not be able to drive into the village until 6:30pm but may handcart out their items before that
