Message from the Electrician

During Hillbilly Days 2008, approximately 300 electrical cord violations were written up by the Kentucky State Electrical Inspector. The cords used for your booths need to be in good condition and be of proper size. If the inspector views your cord unacceptable, they will disconnect you and you will not be hooked back up until repairs are made and re-inspected. The Southeast Kentucky Chamber nor the Electrician will be liable if your power is disconnected or if you are charged a fine for faulty cords by the State Electrical Inspector. This is the vendor’s responsibility. Please have cords in good repair and ready before you come to the Festival to prevent delays.

• Booths requiring water must provide 150 feet of hose.
