Lexington Chamber of Commerce has pledged to limit sale of food items to local non-profit organizations. However,
those who attend Homecoming need to have foods available Friday Night, Saturday Noon and Saturday Night.
Bar-B-Q Contestants give samples from their pits on Saturday night, but some food items need to be available for
purchase before and during the dance. The Chamber will be selling Hot-Dogs and Soft Drinks. Other non-profit
organizations are urged to consider selling food items on Friday Night.
Of course, the main demand for foods is at noon time on Saturday when the parade is over and the town square is
full to overflowing. Because there is a Dance on Saturday night and if the weather permits, many folks return to
the square and there is need for food to be available on Saturday Night also. The Chamber will again sell Hot-Dogs
and Soft Drinks on Saturday Night. Other non-profit organizations are urged to consider selling food items on
Saturday Night.
Due to the agreement with the soft drink vendor, the Chamber will have exclusive rights to sell commercial soft
drinks; other entities may sell non-commercial drinks (such as tea, water, lemonade, etc.)
GAME BOOTHS will be located on the Town Square - The booth fee is also $40.00.
The games add entertainment for the young folks who attend Homecoming and serves as a means to earn dollars for
school, church non-profits.
CRAFT BOOTHS - Each 10x10 space on Wheatly Street adjacent to the square is also $40.00 and will be assigned
on a first come - first paid basis. Former participants may request previously occupied locations. The Chamber
reserves the right to bar any craft item deemed offensive or in poor taste.
