Selling Merchandise

Please note that while there is no rule against it, we do discourage the selling of merchandise during the festival. The I-Fest is not a time for profit, but a time for celebration, education and the sharing of your culture with others.

Electricity

Many booths have requested electricity, but the power wagons can only support a limited number. Priority for electricity is being given to booths where food must be cooked.

If your booth requires electricity for a cd player or laptop, it is advisable that you consider the use of batteries. This frees up more power for the sound system and booths serving food. If you requested electricity, you will be contacted regarding this request.

Serving Food?

If you are planning to serve food, please adhere to the following guidelines:

•  Food and utensils must remain covered and protected from dust, insects, etc.

•  All cooking equipment must be maintained in a sanitary manner

•  All students serving food must wash their hands with soap and water.

•  All cooks must wear a hair net and gloves (provided by IPC).

•  Potentially perishable foods must be refrigerated.

•  Loose hair should be tied tightly.

•  Warm food must be maintained at a proper temperature.

•  Foods such as cream filled pastries and pies, and salads such as potato, chicken, ham, crab. Etc. shall not be served.

•  No person who has an infectious disease that can be transmitted by foods, or is a carrier of organisms that cause such a disease, or who has a boil, infected wound, or respiratory infection shall work around the food.

Setup on Saturday

Please note that all participants must meet at the Fountain Plaza no later than 10:00am for setup and for the distribution of supplies.

Each booth must remain in operation from 12-5pm. In addition, each group is responsible for the clean up of their booth area and the break down of their tent.
