About the Hamel Rodeo and Bull Ridin’ Bonanza
The Hamel Rodeo and Bull Ridin’ Bonanza is a non-profit event that has been going strong for over 40 years thanks to our volunteers and an average of over 18,000 attendees a year. Our event consists of 5 events over 4 days; Thursday - Sunday.
The Hamel Rodeo does not accept food or beverage vendors, we have on site concessions that are managed by our volunteer organizations. But we do welcome all other vendor types! To ensure we don’t have an overlap of vendors with very similar products, please contact us at vendors@hamelrodeo.org before submitting your application. We are also requesting images of your items and previous set ups to ensure the best sales during the event.
Booth Space & Pricing
We offer four booth sizes, ranging from 10’x10’ to 10’x40’; with or without electricity. If you are in need of electricity hook-ups, you must provide your own cords and hook-ups. Please refer to the following site to ensure that you are in compliance with guidelines set by Hennepin County; https://www.dli.mn.gov/business/electrical-contrac...
Your application will not be considered complete until payment has been received. Below you will find the pricing breakdown; applications that are submitted with payment before March 31st will receive a discounted rate. After March 31st, the price of each booth size will increase on April 1st and again on July 1st. If you submit an application after June 30th, we cannot guarantee that we will have the time to review and approve. Please contact our coordinator beforehand (contact information below).

You must contact a Vendor Alley coordinator prior to June 1st if you anticipate your staffing needs exceed the number of passes allowed for your space.
Registration fees are non-refundable unless your application is denied. If your application is denied we will reach out to you with the reason and an estimate of when the refund will be issued.
Subletting your booth space to a different business is prohibited.
Staying/Camping on Site During the Event
We welcome all vendors to stay on our grounds during the event but we have a few requirements. First, we ask that you complete the “Camping on Site” section of the application and include the size that your RV will require. Secondly, this year we will require a $50.00 camping fee IF you plan to use the electricity on site. This is to help cover our costs and make sure we can give back the most we can to our volunteer organizations and community.

Security
The Hamel Rodeo has volunteers that provide overnight security for the entire grounds. You are responsible for securing your vendor space and your products.
Insurance
Vendors cannot hold the Hamel Rodeo and Bull Ridin’ Bonanza or the Corcoran Lions Club (owner of the grounds) liable for any and all claims for compensation from any loss of revenue incurred as a result of interruptions of utility services. The Hamel Rodeo and Bull Ridin’ Bonanza will not be liable for damage or loss to vendor’s property through theft, vandalism, fire, accident of any cause or for personal injuries sustained on the premises during the use of our property. We highly recommend that you have liability insurance in the event that anything should happen.
Vendor Parking & Entry
We have FREE parking thanks to our sponsors. Vendors are welcome to park inside the fenced area as long as they arrive 1 hour prior to the gates opening (4:30pm/10am).
After these times, you will be directed to park in the large lot on the other side of the fence or other off-site parking. Please refer to the map above.
Each business will be given 2 or 4 electronic passes (depending on booth size purchased), these passes must be presented in order to gain entry onto the grounds. If passes are not presented, you will be required to pay the current entry rate. These passes do have a limited number of entries allowed, this is to ensure that passes are not being passed on to others for entry. If at any time a badge is given to someone that is not working in your booth, you will be fined $25 for each entry that cannot be accounted for.
We know that in some cases additional passes/entry will be needed for your staff. You must contact the Vendor Alley coordinators prior to June 1st.
Sales Tax
All vendors are required to complete and submit the MN Operator Certificate of Compliance ST-19 Form. You can download a fillable pdf using the link below, save it to your desktop, and upload it along with your application submission. You do not have to physically sign the ST-19 form when you upload it below. Your Electronic Signature is your certification that all information you have provided to us, including the ST-19 Form, is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. If you are unable to upload the form we will collect it when you arrive at the rodeo. You will not be allowed to set up on the rodeo grounds until we have a valid ST-19 form from you.
