"Special event show"
includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: business expositions, craft fairs, bazaars, art shows, antique shows, hobby shows, and similar events.
"Sponsor"

"Vendor"

(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
The sponsor of a special event show must obtain a business license for a special event show and regulatory permits for vendors participating in the special event show pursuant to this chapter. No sponsor may cause or permit a vendor to sell or offer to sell any goods, services, wares or merchandise without first obtaining a permit for that vendor at the special event show. It is the intent of this chapter to permit special event shows and vendors through the sponsor of said shows.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
No permit for a vendor is required if a vendor has a valid business license issued by the City. However, the intended sale of goods or services at the special event show must be the same as described in their current business license.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
A. 
Upon request by the sponsor, the issuing officer will provide the sponsor with special event show applications to be completed by participating vendors. The fee for each application is as established by resolution of the City Council and paid by the sponsor at the time that the blank applications are issued. Special event show applications when completed and signed by the vendor meet the permit requirement of Section 4.26.020 of this chapter.

Each vendor must provide the following information requested on the application:
1. 
The name of the sponsor;
2. 
The name of the special event show;

(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
The term of the permit is three consecutive calendar days beginning with the first day of the show and continuing for the next two days. A day is considered as the calendar date and not by the number of hours.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
Within 10 calendar days after the closing of each special event show, the sponsor must return to the issuing officer copies of the special event show permits that were issued to each vendor. No refunds are provided for any unissued permits.
