Craft or Merchandise Vendor Application
North Florida Regional Chamber of Commerce (NFRCC) believes in equal opportunity for all vendors and we will actively seek fair evaluation of all applications. We do not allow personal beliefs to conflict with application consideration. In selecting participants, criteria may include menu items, past history, the promptness of application arrival, and event area accommodations. NFRCC reserves the right to deny acceptance of any applicant if past experience or other factors warrant exclusion. As a participant in the Annual Bradford County Strawberry Festival, I fully understand and agree to the following:
