Vendor/Partner Registration

The Polk County Emergency Management Division invites you to participate in the Annual Hurricane Expo at the Winter Haven, Orange Dome and Chain O'Lakes Complex on June 5, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The Expo will enable Polk County Citizens to be educated and prepared for exposure to all potential hazards. Your agency has proven to be an invaluable resource for Polk County citizens who are preparing for, responding to, or recovering from a disaster. From vendors we are suggesting a donation of $25.00 per table (check made payable to Polk County BOCC). In addition, we are asking that vendors supply a door prize valued at $25.00. County and non-profit agencies will be allotted one table at no charge. In order to include your agency in pre-event promotions, we also ask that you register using the online vendor application no later than May 14, 2010. Please make all checks payable to Polk County BoCC

Please note that some booths have electricity available, which are reserved on a first-come first-served preregistration requirement. If you request an outside booth/table, plan to provide you own tent or shade and lots of sunscreen.

Food will be available for vendors and participants from our Polk County Fire Union grill, menu will consist of hamburgers and hot dogs. All money raised will go toward purchasing smoke alarms for our Project Safe Home Project.

In addition to your vendor booth, the event will include: training sessions, children's activities, public safety demonstrations, and much more. Since the purpose of our Expo is to educate our citizens, it is imperative that you participate with an educational objective in mind.

We look forward to having you join us as an exhibitor at the Hurricane Expo 2010. Please mark your calendars and fill out your application online as soon as possible. For further information, please contact Rosa Driggs, Public Safety/Public Education Officer, at 863-519-FIRE(3473) or 863-534-5600
