Animal Exhibitors

Vendors
Vendors are businesses or organizations whose primary objective is to sell products or services at the event. This can range from pet ID tags to pet food to photography, to dog trainers, to food trucks. This also includes organizations that are primarily interested in raising funds through donations or sponsorships.
As an Animal Exhibitor or Vendor at Izzy’s Animal Rescue Festival, you are required to hold a valid California permit, license, and insurance that is appropriate for your business or organization. All state and local regulations must be met.

Add “Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma (FOLFAN) and Folsom Lake State Recreation Area” as “Additionally Insured” to your vendor insurance and that they be “held harmless from and against any and all liability.”
Submit (upload) copies of all appropriate certificate(s) or permit(s) with your completed online Vendor/Animal Exhibitor Application. Additionally, have copies of all your necessary paperwork onsite at the event.
All displays and merchandise must be family-friendly. Vendors may not have items that are pornographic, demeaning, graphic, or generally offensive.

Loud generators are prohibited.
Only items described in your approved Animal Exhibitor/Vendor Application (approved by the Planning Committee before the event) may be sold at the festival.
