I'm a newbie this year and I was hoping to try and sell some hand-made crafts out of my campsite. I know there is vendor sign up on the website, but i've passed the deadline by a couple months for signing up. Anyone know how strict it is for selling things out of ones campsite? Are the powers that be going to go all gestapo on me and confiscate my stuff?
LoL...figure of speech. No it's mostly chainmail key chains. They're pretty wild actually and I've never seen them anywhere else. I just wasn't sure if I could set up a table or something at my campsite without getting hassled.
The only people I saw get into problems were people who had set up and elaborate cooking station and selling breakfast wraps. They looked so good for 3 or 5. They came by on horses and shut them down before I could get mine.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!

I think you will be good. Usally the vendors that pay for spots make tons of money, so I dont think they will bother you unless you get alot of sales. Not 100% but I would try.

If you can, post a pic on here. You may have business coming before you even get set up. My step-son loves that kind of stuff.

I think you would be fine - it seems like a lot of people sell some handmade stuff with no issues. And I think even if you got unlucky, the worst that would happen is they'd come tell you to stop.
There are 2 types of people that may bother you; Roo personnel and State tax people. I had a great site in '04 and both were constantly coming up to me on Thur and Fri asking if I was vending. And I wasn't selling anything.
That being said, if you're selling from your site, it's 99% that no one will say a word. Roo personel mostly look for BIG vendors and people selling counterfit Roo stuff. Tax people are random, mostly on Thurs and a little Friday and usually just tell your you have to charge sales tax and hand you a form.
