The 2008 Elizabeth Celtic Festival

Animal Exhibitors Information & Regulations

Our second year of having animal-related programs


We welcome Non-Profit Animal Organizations and Individuals to participate in the Elizabeth Celtic Festival this year. Please carefully read the information and procedures below.

1. Non-Profit Animal Organizations are defined as groups which exist to raise public awareness about the animals, or gain members or interest in rescue or adoptions. Non-Profit Organizations may sell or distribute a small amount of items related to the organization (such as T-shirts, hats, and other specialty items).This does not include goods that a Merchant Vendor would sell. The fee for a non-profit booth is $25 per 10' x 10' space. You will receive 4 admission tickets plue one parking pass per day (per $25 fee per 10' x 10' space) for members of your group. If you need a double space (20' frontage x 10' depth) the charge is $50, and you will be given 8 admission tickets and 2 parking passes per day.

2. Non-Profit Applications will be received until July 1, 2008 or until allocated space is full. We must make our schedule of demonstrations in the arena in advance, so please do not wait until the last moment to apply if you want to be included.

3. Individuals not connected to any organization, but who would like to share the talents or beauty of their animals in short demonstrations, will have to make special arrangements with the Liaison/Coordinator of the Animals of the British Isles. Other pets will not be allowed entrance. Please leave them at home.



4. All Animals must be current on all State required vaccinations, healthy, non-aggressive and on a lead at all times (except in the arena or in demonstrations). There will be covered trash cans, so please be responsible for cleaning up your animal's waste. The Waiver on the application must be signed.

5. Booths: All exhibitors must bring their own tent, tables and chairs, water containers, hoses, and be prepared for outdoor conditions. No loud music or generators will be allowed at the booth sites. There are no indoor buildings for animals in this park. We encourage everyone to print the site map and visit Casey Jones Park to see the grounds. You can arrange to meet Kathy, your Liaison, and she will be happy to show you around.

6. Water: Well Water is available from a spigot near the arena area but will need to be hauled to the booth area. We suggest you bring plenty of your own water and containers for your animals too.



7. Parking: The parking lot is located to the west of the festival grounds. The entrance is on CR 17 just north of Hwy 86. Your group will receive 1 free parking pass per 10' x 10' size space arranged for. Otherwise, the cost of parking is just $2 per vehicle.

8. Electricity is scarce at this festival site. Electricity for loud-speakers will be available only at the arena for demonstrations.

9. Booth Set-Up: We would appreciate all booths set up by 8:00 AM Sat., and we encourage you to set up your booth the day before if possible. The gates officially open at 9:00 a.m., so be ready for the public and have all your vehicles in the Parking Lot by 8:30 AM please.

10. Booth Take-Down: Non-Profits will be able to close down their booth starting at 5:00 p.m. on Sat., or 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, or as permitted by the Festival Chairman. If no one in your group can stay until the official take-down time, please do not apply to be in the festival. If public attendance at the event falls off to a very low level, the Festival Chairman will make a decision whether to permit early departure.

11. The Elizabeth Festival Committee assumes no responsibility for any losses, damages or injuries. Each Non-Profit group must secure their belongings and merchandise to their satisfaction. The Elizabeth Festival Committee makes no warranties, either implied or expressed, regarding numbers of spectators or other conditions of participating and each Non-Profit group comes and participates at their own risk.
