Food Vendors Wanted for Concert, Fireworks at Newark Campus

Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) and The Ohio State University at Newark, with support from the J. Gilbert Reese Family Foundation, celebrate Independence Day with a concert and fireworks on July 3 at the shared Newark campus. The institutions are seeking food vendors to serve spectators at the event, which is expected to draw more than 20,000 people.

Interested vendors may apply now at go.cotc.edu/fireworks. Mobile establishments including food trucks, concessions trailers and temporary food service operations will be considered for a limited number of available spaces.

Applications are due Sunday, May 7. Applying does not guarantee acceptance. Once notified, accepted vendors are required to pay a $150 fee and submit a certificate of insurance. Registered 501(c)(3) organizations may participate at no cost (verification of nonprofit registration required). Vendors are responsible for complying with the Licking County Health Department and must be set up by 3 p.m. for a health inspection.
