Just a tip for those in the future who are doing their own vendor event or for those who do food at their event (someone had mentioned on here about making PC samples and selling them - check to see if food vendors are required to hold a state license. My sister and I are doing a little event on Saturday and two of the ten vendors are food people (cupcakes and bread/salsas). Today my sister gets a call at work (the event is in a conference room at her work) from the Food Safety Office to inquire about our food vendors. We have to either prove that they have a state license or they can't be at the event on Saturday. I was the one that talked to them since my sister was at work. They just happened to see our flyer and wanted to check on it. Funny thing is the cupcake person I meet at another event and I know she does several of these. The food safety people said that there is no regulations but when they are notified of events they have to look into them.
I did get a hold of the cupcake girl and they don't have a license They already paid for the spot and the advertising already went out (we only charged for the ad that went in the paper). I haven't heard from the other guy but the safety gal said they tried to email him twice and never heard back from him.
I thought it would be nice to have different kinds of people vs just direct sales companies but now I know what to look for the next time!
