GUIDELINES/INFORMATION FOR VENDORS

MISSION STATEMENT:
To encourage skill development and promotion of cottage industries and small businesses for all interested persons in the eight counties through which Highway 14 runs. To offer participants the opportunity to display and sell their products to a wider consumer base than traditionally available. To promote Highway 14 tourist attractions by supplying brochures to POP IN customers and answer questions they may have regarding the Highway 14 corridor.

• The program is named POP IN which is an acronym for PRODUCTS ON PARADE IN NEBRASKA.
• The products offered for sale by these cottage industries and small businesses must be made, grown, produced or value added in Nebraska.
• The products will be sold at a POP IN site in each participating community located on Highway 14. The POP IN event will be held August 4, 2007.
• Sales tax permits for Nebraska state sales tax and for city sales tax are the responsibilities of each vendor or group of vendors or small businesses. Information on sales tax permits may be obtained from the Nebraska State Department of Revenue located in Norfolk (877)269-6687, Grand Island (308)385-6067 and Lincoln (402)471-5729.
