Traffic control will be provided by Fayette County Sheriff's
Deputies on Friday and Saturday of both weekends. They will
also provide night security for you every night. Security is
included in your booth fee to help cover the cost of having this
protection for you. (Traffic control expenses are shared by our
neighbors across the highway at The Arbors Antiques &
Collectible Show.)
Our
expenses associated with the property, building, improvements in
facilities, utilities, taxes, etc. go on regardless of the
weather, so the show will also go on, rain or shine. No refunds
will be given after you have set up for the sale. By signing
below and submitting your application, you agree to release
Round Top Hill, it's owners and employees, from any claims for
loss or damage caused by accident, rain, wind, hail, lightning,
storms, or acts of God. Round Top Hill and its owners will not
pay any financial compensation to you for loss of sales deemed
lost due to weather or any other factor in or out of our
control. By signing below, you also agree to hold harmless and
free of liability Round Top Hill, its owners and employees from
any loss or damage to your property or vehicles, damage due to
accidents, fire or any other cause, injury or death of persons
before, during, or after the show.
One
half of the booth rental fee is required to reserve a booth
and/or RV site, with the balance due no later than two weeks
before the show.
This time period will allow us to send a receipt back to you
prior to the show, and eliminates the paper work otherwise
needed upon your arrival here. In the event you have to cancel
after having made a deposit, your deposit can be applied to the
next show, or you may elect a refund, minus a $50 administrative
fee.

Electricity
20-amp electricity
with ground fault interrupters is available at each vendor site
inside and outside the pavilion. 30-amp electricity is available
for food vendors outside the pavilion. Cost for 30-amp service
used by food vendors is $25 due to the increased usage caused by
air conditioners, electric grills, warmers, freezers,
refrigerators, etc.
Help Us
Grow!
The best advertising we
can get is “word of mouth advertising” from our own dealers.
For each antique dealer that you refer to Round Top Hill
who reserves a booth space with us, you will receive a one
time payment of $50 during the show. There is no
limit to the number of dealers you can refer to us, so the more
you refer, the more you make! Be sure they mention your name
when they call or fill out their application. Any new dealers
are also eligible for this referral fee if they bring in another
new dealer. This comes out of our advertising budget, and we
would like to share the rewards of growth with you.
Recruiting
Round Top area dealers
While we appreciate
efforts to help us grow, please do not visit other shows in the
Round Top area and recruit dealers from those shows. We would
not want their promoters or dealers coming to Round Top Hill to
recruit our dealers if their show dates coincide with ours, so
it is only fair that we do not recruit their dealers. However,
if they come to our location and ask for information about our
show, facilities, management, etc., then you are free to
volunteer information, give them a business card, flyer, or
refer them to me. Thank you.
Insurance
Vendors are
encouraged (but not required) to join the Antiques &
Collectibles Association. It is “the largest dealer
association in the United States with thousands of members in
all 50 states.” (ACDA) By joining the association, members can
obtain dealer insurance that will cover your property at any
location, as well as while in transit. You can contact them on
the internet at the following address:
info@antiqueandcollectible.com or by calling: 800-287-
7127 or 704-895-9088. If you prefer to write, their
address is:
Antique and Collectible
Association
P.O. Box 4389
Davidson, North Carolina 28036
Merchandise
Quality
The primary focus of
Round Top Hill is good quality antiques. This is a juried show,
so please send pictures of items you plan to sell, preferably by
e-mail to:
roundtophill@yahoo.com or mail to our postal address listed
above. Flea market items, cell phones, sunglasses, tee shirts,
food supplements, garage sale items, etc. will not be
accepted. Display of such items only brings down the price of
quality antiques displayed next to it. It is our intent to have
a high quality show that is family oriented. Objectionable
material in the form of posters, paintings, signs, pictures,
sculptures, etc. will not be allowed. Anything found to be
anti-religious or anti-American by the owners of Round Top Hill
must be removed from display.
RV Sites
We have
RV sites in a well lit area available for vendors on a first
come, first served basis. Each site has water and 30-amp
electric service. The daily rate for our dealers will be $15,
which includes water and electricity. If you need one of these
sites for the show, we strongly recommend you reserve it early
(Half down deposit required to hold it). We do not have
sewer connections, but the people who service the porta-potties
can vacuum your holding tanks on location for a fee of $25
payable directly to them. Any sites not rented by dealers will
be made available to the public for $25 per night (Our dealers
are given a discount in order to hold down their travel expense
so they can pass those savings on to shoppers.)
Sales tax ID
All vendors must provide a Texas sales tax number.
There have been conflicting reports about whether a Texas
sales tax ID is required for out of state vendors, so I called
the Texas State Comptroller's office for an official opinion. I
was told that all vendors are required to have a Texas
sales tax ID. Violators have been fined and required to shut
down by state officials at other shows. Processing of
applications
can take 2-3
weeks, so
please fill out one as soon as possible and get it in the mail. In the
blank asking for address, I was told that you should not list
Round Top, but rather the address you normally list for your
business or home. If an application is not enclosed with the
information you have received, please contact:
Carole Keeton
Strayhorn
Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts
Austin, TX 78774-0100
In State: 512-463-3731
Out of State:
800-654-3463
If you have access to the
internet, online forms are available at
http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/sales/new_business.httml.
Vendors
are responsible for collecting, reporting, and paying all
applicable taxes. When you report and pay the taxes collected in
Round Top, be sure to report that the taxes were collected in
Fayette County, Texas. I was told by the comptroller's office
that if you have applied for your permit but have not received
your number by show time, you can call them at one of the
numbers listed above and they will give you your tax id number
over the phone. If you reserve booth space with us for a
show and do not receive your sales tax id before the show, we
can either give you a full refund on the deposit or apply it for
the next show. So, please send in your application to the
state and make reservations with us as soon as possible!
Set Up/Take
Down Set up can
begin
at 2:00 p.m. on the Thursday before opening day of the show and last
until 11:00 p.m. Take down after the show will not begin until
Saturday afternoon at 6:00 p.m. and can continue until 11:00
p.m. Anyone camping with us and needing to stay in an RV site
on the last night of the show and leave on Sunday is welcome to
stay. All items must be removed from your booth by 4:00 p.m. on
the Sunday after the show.
Storage
If you need storage
before or after the show, the closest available storage units
are only about ¼ mile north at Faye's Self Storage. She
can be reached at 979-968-0075.
Table Covers
For those displaying
your antiques in the pavilion, we request that you cover your
tables with some type of table cloth to help give a neater and
more professional appearance for the entire pavilion. This also
allows you to store empty containers out of sight. Empty
containers that can't be stored out of sight should be removed
from your booth. This does not have to be an expensive material,
but simply something to hide any clutter you may have stored
underneath the tables. Tables that we rent are 96” long, 30”
wide, and about 28” high. Table covers should be wide enough to
extend to within 6 inches of the ground on the aisle side.
Round Top
Hill Antiques & RV is
owned by Roy and Marlene Bolton and is managed by Roy Bolton.
We appreciate you and your willingness to trust us with
promoting your next show, and we will do everything possible to
make each show a success. We look forward to having you here
and getting to know each one of you, and we also look forward to
what we hope is a long and mutually beneficial relationship. If
you have questions or comments please call us at
979-968-9209 or e-mail us at: roundtophill@yahoo.com
I can also be reached on my cell phone at 979-966-7435.
