As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
PUBLIC EXPOSITION
Any gathering sponsored, promoted or organized by any person, group,
organization, institution or other entity, whether or not for profit, which
is intended to or will bring together groups of people, either outdoors or
in structures temporarily erected for the purpose of such gatherings, including
by way of example but not limited to events such as horse shows, race meets,
fairs, carnivals, concerts and shows.
No public exposition shall be conducted in Willistown Township without
a permit first having been had and obtained. Application for such permit shall
be made at the township offices and, if the township shall have prescribed
a form for applying for such permits, shall be made on such forms. The township
shall have the right to reject, without any other reason therefor, any application
not made at least two weeks prior to the first day of the proposed exposition.
Upon submission of a properly completed and executed application (together
with such supporting materials as may be required) demonstrating compliance
with the terms of this chapter and the regulations applicable to public exposition
as the same may be in force at the time of said application, and upon payment
of the fee for the issuance of such permit, a permit shall be issued for the
proposed public exposition.
The fee for the issuance of such permit shall be $25 for each day or
portion thereof during which the exposition is to be held or to be in operation.
Such permit shall be valid only for the person, group, organization, institution
or entity to whom or to which the permit shall have been issued.
No unnecessarily loud noises shall be permitted to issue from the premises
upon which the exposition is being held or operated.
[Amended 6-10-1986 by Ord. No. 5-1986]
It shall be a violation of this chapter to hold or operate a public
exposition without first having obtained a permit therefor, to violate any
of the terms of this chapter or to fail to comply with any of the provisions
or representations of any application pursuant to which a permit is issued.
Any violation of this chapter shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding
$300, plus the costs of prosecution, or, in default of payment thereof, by
imprisonment for a term of not more than 30 days, in the discretion of the
Justice before whom the conviction is obtained. Each day a public exposition
is held or operated in violation of this chapter shall constitute a separate
