When we first started our event we would allow teams to sell to the public for about a four hour time period right after the comp. As Scottie said, it would allow the teams that wanted to do so, a chance to cover some of their costs. In many casses they sold items that were overflow from their comp work. THE PUBLIC LOVED IT. The health department worked with us, and we had to help set up each team under a license we purchased. That meant hot water for hand washing.... etc. As our event grew the teams could not keep up with the crowds, and the health department regulations were making us nuts.... OTHER VENDORS HATED IT. Now we like to use comp team / vendors like Ford who come in and do both. They are usually well equiped to meet the health department codes, to handle the food demands of the public, and to be professional in every aspect. :thumb:
