SRMF does it’s best at offering a variety of foods to attendees while attempting not to allow duplications at multiple
vendors, therefore allowing each vendor to maximize sales on their specific specialties. In an effort to ensure this
goal is met, please list ALL of the menu items you wish to sell in your booth. We will review this list and if there are
any duplicated items from already confirmed vendors, you will be notified to remove menu item from list.
