02 NCAC 20B .0201          COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS AND CONCESSIONS

(a)  The North Carolina State Fair space rental department shall be responsible for the details of the sale of all space, both for concessions and commercial exhibits.  In connection with these sales, the department may issue the two following types of contracts:

(1)           Concession Contracts shall include all contracts for the sale or delivery of food, merchandise or service on or from leased premises during the period of the State Fair.  Concessionaires who operate according to State Fair rules and regulations may be allowed to renew their contracts. Space not claimed by former occupants within the time specified, may be made available to new applicants.

(2)           Commercial Exhibit Contracts shall include all contracts for exhibition of goods, machinery and services for advertising purposes. Institutions or individuals operating under exhibit contracts may be permitted to take orders and partial deposits for future delivery, but may not make delivery on or from their premises during the period of the State Fair.  The same regulation regarding renewal of space holdings by former concessionaires applies to commercial exhibitors.

(b)  Due to grounds or space alterations or other changes, the space rental department shall have authority to eliminate certain previously available space from year to year.  In such instances, the fair reserves the right to offer substitute locations or to discontinue contracts entirely.
