Rental Rules & Policies

Policies

  • An event date is not considered firm until payment of your deposit has been received.
  • A deposit of 10% of the Estimated Total Bill is payable at the time of reservation.
  • An additional Damage Deposit of 20% of the Estimated Total Bill is held by the Fair Association for up to 30 days following each event. If no damage is incurred, the client is refunded the full amount of the damage deposit.
  • All rental clients must provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance naming the Rockingham County Fair Association as "additional insured."
  • The Fair Association reserves the right to determine compatibility of an event with other simultaneous events as well as compatibility with the Fair's Mission Statement.
  • The Rockingham County Fair Association encourages a diverse array of events at the Fairgrounds. It therefore endorses a policy of preventing similar (competing) events from being scheduled in a conflicting manner. In general, similar events will not be scheduled 60 days prior to, or 30 days after, a competing event. The final decision in this regard will be made by the Fair Association General Manager.
  • Cancellation Policy - Once a client executes a Rental Agreement, the space and the time period covered by the agreement is taken off of the market and reserved exclusively for the client. If the Event is cancelled, in whole or in part, for any reason by the client, the client shall not be entitled to a refund of any monies paid. Upon cancellation the space will become available.
