Dear Vendor<\/strong>
\nThis is your confirmation as a vendor\/exhibitor at the 2018 Mercer Green Fest on March 17th at Rider University. This event is indoors and so will go on rain or shine.<\/p>\n

Set Up<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tThe Rider University Student Recreation Center will be open to vendors\/exhibitors on March 17th from 9\u2013 10:30 a.m.
\n\u2022\tPlease plan to be completely set up by 10:30 am since the Green Fest starts at 11:00am, but people often come early.
\n\u2022\tSee the attached diagram of the venue: note the large garage door at the southern end — accessed from the back parking lot.
\n\u2022\tVendors should come in through the garage door — right into the Student Recreation Center. We will have someone there to direct you. Immediately after unloading your vehicle it should be moved back into the parking lot so that others may unload after you.
\n\u2022\tParking is right next to the gym (see map below).
\n\u2022\tSign in and get your assigned table number at the reception table. Please note that table assignments will only be distributed \u201cday of\u201d. The map provided has a provisional layout and will most likely be slightly adjusted as a few vendor changes are still trickling in.
\n\u2022\tWi-Fi is available.
\n\u2022\tYou must bring everything that you need for your display! We will only provide a table and two chairs.
\n\u2022\tIf you asked for an electrical hookup, you have been positioned by a wall with an outlet \u2013 be sure to bring an extension cord!<\/p>\n

Educating for Action<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tProvide educational activities\/hands on interactive projects! Whatever your message.
\n\u2022\tCome with a Take Action suggestion\/pledge. Each table will be given a Take Action sign to display.
\n\u2022\tOffering incentives for people to Take Action creates excitement and enthusiasm.
\n\u2022\tYour booth must be “staffed” at all times.<\/p>\n

Greening<\/strong>
\nThe Mercer Green Fest is a \u201cgreen fair.\u201d We are attempting to be zero waste. Please try to eliminate as much non-reusable packaging as possible. We will have Eco Waste stations for compostable, recyclables and trash. We ask that all vendors try to limit trash as much as possible and use appropriate waste containers. We also ask the following:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tNo Styrofoam products.
\n\u2022\tNo single use plastic bags. We will be giving out reusable bags while supplies last.
\n\u2022\tPlease use environmentally-friendly packaging where possible. Ask the purchaser if they need the item bagged. Encourage use of the reusable bags.
\n\u2022\tNo plastic balloons
\n\u2022\tEmphasize your sustainably practices, green products and services.
\n\u2022\tThe Mercer Green Fest encourages using a very limited amount of paper and handouts
\nFood Vendors<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tNo open food sampling — all food must be wrapped.
\n\u2022\tAll serving items should be compostable\/recyclable. Again, compost and recycling stations will be on site.
\n\u2022\tPlease serve condiments in bulk instead of individual packages.<\/p>\n

End of Day Breakdown<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tBreak down of your display after 4:00 pm
\n\u2022\tTake all materials and trash with you.<\/p>\n
