with a Decorator if they wish to use one. Decor Companies are contracted with the Lessee,
not the Fairgrounds.
Standard setup hours are from 8 am to 5 pm the day before the event, provided the Lessee
has paid for this setup date.
If the Decorator requires an additional setup day, it must be coordinated with the Lessee.
The Lessee will then coordinate with the Fairgrounds to arrange and pay for an additional
setup date if available.
Event decorators are prohibited from connecting any decorations to sprinkler heads, pipes,
or any Fire Suppression equipment.
Event decorators are encouraged to use 3M Command strips/hooks or other non-invasive
methods to hang decorations.
Avoid putting any holes in walls. Any holes made will be reported to Fairgrounds
management and properly patched after the event, the Lessee will be responsible for any
damage caused to the Fairgrounds' property due to decoration setup, and they will be held
liable for the repair costs.
The Lessee is responsible for ensuring all decorations are removed and the event space is
restored to its original condition.
To ensure the safety of all individuals and the protection of our facilities, all ceiling
decorations used within our premises or at events hosted at our venues must be proven to
be flame retardant. Decorators and suppliers should provide documentation or certification
demonstrating the flame-retardant properties of the materials used in ceiling decorations.
This documentation should be available for inspection upon request.
In the absence of adequate proof of flame retardancy, the decoration may not be permitted
for use in our facilities or events.
Non-compliance with this policy may result in additional fees, forfeiture of Damage
deposit, or restrictions on future event bookings.
I have read and been given a copy of these policies as applicable to my rental
agreement.
