Purchase a Food Truck spot at the Fern45! Food Trucks PURCHASE FOOD TRUCK SPOT Thank you for your interest to have a spot at our event! Price: $100 for the weekend Please note that SATURDAY 11/8 is the main day of our event and will be very slow with little to no people there during the majority of the day. Basically the crew and volunteers will be at the venue between the hours of 9:00a-1:00p. We have had food trucks leave in the past because of this and then the trucks that stayed have sold out of their inventory and our participants had no food truck to buy from during the main part of our event. PLEASE stay until our participants get back from their ride, we will have a huge raffle and a live band with LOTS of people who will need some food late at night. The venue is free to enter, so any loyal patrons of yours are more than welcome to come to the event specifically for your food truck...and stay for the festivities and shop local vendors! Thank you! If you have any other questions, please reach out to Staci or Shane via text/call or email. Staci - 775-745-9991 TEXT or CALL Shane - 775-980-7284 TEXT or CALL PURCHASE FOOD TRUCK SPOT
