Right across the river from St. Louis, MO

I guess I've seen 2 different types. Sales of stuff, charges to cook or eat and pretty structured. There's free ones where really no money is involved and very little organized schedule. What are you looking to do? Obviously sell eggs.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

First talk to your distributor.
Second and Most Important! Please don't have it in your parking lot.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
We will contact our distributor for help.Mickey said:First talk to your distributor.

Why do you say don't have it in your parking lot? That's where we planned on having it

Still waiting on an answer as to why it is a bad idea to have it in our parking lot.

Having an Eggfest is a great idea for any dealer. Start it and let it grow.
While a hot parking lot may not be ideal, it will work. Provide shade or people will walk away thinking negatively about your event. Remember, no one wants to cook out in the sun, and no one wants to stand in the sun. So there is your problem with having an event in your parking lot. Nothing $2000 in canopies can't fix. IMO

ChrisSonn23, In June will be the 13th annual Peoria IL Eggfest. You might want to give Jerry a call at Hearth & Patio in Peoria to pick his brain. Feel free to tell him I, Ron Pratt, gave you his name. Their phone is 309-691-5959. My other advice is echoing what others have said about contacting your distributor, which I assume is Peter at Northern Plains Distributing in Fargo, ND - right?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Thanks for the info! I'll get in touch with him if we have any questions. Might have to make the 2 1/2 hour trip up to Peoria to check it out. We are definitely going to contact our dealer but wanted to pick some EggHeads brains first. And no, Peter is not our distributor. Our distributor is Leisure Distributing and our rep is Jeff

Thanks for the correction - I thought Northern Plains had all of IL. I know their man, Peter, helped another distributor get their 3 year old eggfest up, but maybe your guy, Jeff can help. There are so very few eggfests here in the midwest so with H & P they have had many years eggperience so that's why I recommended the contact.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I'm not a dealer but have attended & cooked at Eggfests in a few different venues including a couple held in parking lots. As an attendee, a hot parking lot with little to no seating or tables and limited shade (if it's hot) is not particularly fun. I think a parking lot isn't that kid friendly either unless you have an area cordoned off and/or activities for them. Not sure if you have neighboring businesses that might take issue with your activity taking over the lot. From your perspective, I'm sure it would make it easy for you to sell accessories and have a very familiar setting around you so I can understand that would be a plus for an organizer.
You might check out the Greeneggers site as well as they have an Eggfest Central area where those interested in hosting an Eggfest may find some tips.
