PURPOSE: This rule lists contractual rights and obligations of the Missouri State Fair with those using rental space.
(1) The Missouri State Fair leases booth and building space on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the following limitations:
- (A) Lessees must agree to comply with all requirements of the rental space contract made with the Missouri State Fair;
- (B) Subject to subsection (1)(C), lessees who fully comply with the rental space contract may request to renew the contracts the following year. Concessionaires who wish to renew the contracts for the next year must return the renewal notices within the specified time period indicated on the notice. Failure to return the renewal form within the specified time will cause forfeiture of the use of the booth or area; and
- (C) The Missouri State Fair reserves the right to refuse to renew any rental space contract when this action is necessary to encourage the development of agricultural, horticultural, mechanical, mineral, stock raising or other industrial interests of Missouri or to encourage diversity of products sold by concessions.
- (2) Anyone owning or renting any booth or building on the fairgrounds must properly maintain the booth or building. All units and displays must meet the Missouri State Fair Concessions Department aesthetic requirements for cleanliness, conduct, quality of structure and display, regulations, deadlines, health and safety standards. These guidelines must be followed or renewal privileges will be cancelled.
- (3) Requests for changes in location or additional space must be submitted in writing on renewal forms. Only written requests are considered.
(4) Transfers of rental space upon sale of a business, subleases or other disposition of space must be approved by the Missouri State Fair. Those wishing to transfer rights and privileges with respect to rental space must

notify the concessions office. Approval of transfers is based on the transferee’s experience, financial stability, length of time on the waiting list and the interests of the fair.
(5) The fair shall not be liable for injury to persons or property on Missouri State Fair premises. Concessionaires must obtain insurance to include:
- (A) Workers’ Compensation insurance for all employees at the fair; and
- (B) Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of public liability and property damage insurance in general liability form as specified by the concessions office.
- (6) The logo of the Missouri State Fair is a registered trademark and any use of the graphics portion of the logo is forbidden without the written consent of the state fair. Unauthorized use will result in removal of items from sale and forfeiture of renewal rights.
- (7) Sound levels are monitored for concessions which use sound amplification devices. If sound becomes offensive to neighboring concessions or the public, a warning will be issued. If after two (2) warnings sound levels continue to be offensive, the concession will be closed.
- (8) Other details of the rental space contract are available by writing to: Missouri State Fair, P.O. Box 111, Sedalia, MO 65302.
