Interested in being a Food Vendor at the Bash?
NOTE: If interested in vending at the 2024 BBQ Bash, please contact Chairperson Jody Light at 304 / 439-3033 PRIOR to completing an application.
Please note the following before applying as a BBQ Bash Food vendor:
DEADLINE: Applications, with applicable fees and ALL required documents must be received no later than March 1, 2024 for consideration. Your space is NOT guaranteed until completed application, booth fees, and ALL required documents are received - NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Priority will be given to prior vendors, especially those with us since our first event
- We will do our best to avoid duplicate items to provide a better variety to attendees
- Health Permit fees ($55.00) and application will be submitted (by us) to the Upshur County Health Dept. for review.
NOTE: If you have a WV Health permit that covers food truck operations (no tent operations), you may be exempt from purchasing an Upshur County permit as West Virginia now has a reciprocal agreement with ALL WV counties. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Garrett, Upshur County Health Inspector (304 / 472-2810). Permits will be issued during his on-site inspection Thursday afternoon after set-up so you can open at 4:00 PM.
- In an effort to provide the highest quality and variety possible, the BBQ Bash Board of Directors reserves the right to accept or deny any vendor application.
- All vendors MUST adhere to WV State & Local Health Dept. guidelines in effect at the time of the event. Failure to do so will result in: a) vendor removal from event, b) loss of any fees paid, and c) vendor will not be invited to future BBQ Bash events.
The following links provide the application form and all the details you’ll need to apply to become a Food Vendor.
Please also review the following documents as all vendors must adhere to the “WV Health Dept. General Sanitation Guidelines” and WV DHHR Operating Guidelines for Temporary Food Establishment
