Zumwalt Campground is a mini festival all to itself, and it may seem natural to bring some of your arts and crafts, or cook some food to make a little scratch to offset the cost of the weekend. So here's the thing: To do Zumwalt Campground, the City of Veneta needs a special use permit from Lane County. The problem with setting up a booth and selling stuff is that the special use permit only allows camping. There are specific carve outs for food trucks, but that's it. ok Scorcho, what does this mean?The hard line is on selling food, because that requires a permit from the health department and the event organizers could get fined for violations. If you are cooking grilled cheese sandwiches and selling them, count on getting shut down. And that makes sense because the food vendors with the right permits and such rely on campers coming to them to make their living. The other thing that will probably get shut down is if you set up a table on the side of the street at Zumwalt Campground. There is a big push to get folks to park right on the tape to make better use of space. So based on the lack of provision in the special use permit and the desire to make room for more cars, you can count on having security breathing down you neck. what about putting out a blanket?So, if you keep things low key like putting some jewelry on a blanket in your camp or down by the bonfire, you're probably safe. Just make sure you are keeping it informal and if someone that looks like the man comes through, tuck your stuff away for a bit. we just want to share!One of the best things about Zumwalt Campground is sharing! You are welcome to trade or barter items with other campers. You can hand out mimosas or even those grilled cheese sandwiches, as long as you are not trying to do it in a food service capacity.

Author: El Scorcho (not his real name)Been camping for Fair at Zumwalt since 1994 and still haven't seen it all. Why else have a blog for something that lasts three days, once a year? I am not an employee of the City of Veneta and have no affiliation with the Oregon Country Fair. Well, I go to Fair and I do volunteer stuff at camp, but that in no way makes this website and blog official. Consume with caution! Archives
