I understand that some vending spots have light-duty electricity available nearby and that, if I use this electricity, I agree to pay the Dutchess County Fairgrounds a $25 fee for the entire meet.

VENDING VEHICLES, TICKETS, & SPOT RIGHTS: I understand the Coalition will provide me with a Vending Vehicle Pass that I must display in the window of any vehicle of mine operated in the Vending Areas, that only one Vehicle Pass may be issued per spot, and that each Vehicle Pass shall require AMCA membership. I understand that Vending Vehicle Passes will only be issued to registered vendors and that other parking for vendors is available in the Main Lot or, if camping, in the Tent Camping or RV Hookup Areas. I understand it is my obligation to request all Vehicle Passes with my Vendor Application. I also understand that a maximum of two Vendor Tickets per vehicle will be issued but such Vendor Tickets may only be requested for individuals listed by name with my application that I hereby certify will be working on my behalf in my spots. If my application has been received and paid for by May 7, 2010, I understand that a Vending Package will be mailed to me on or about May 15, 2010 and that it is my personal responsibility to retain and distribute the Vending Package materials to all individuals associated with my Vending Application.

ENFORCEMENT: I understand if I do not abide by the rules, management can eject the entrant and/or vehicle from the premises. Ejection may cause loss of any refundable fees and also denial of any future membership with the National AMCA.
