All such activities shall take place in the areas and manner as described below.
2. During the course of any function or event conducted by Expo Idaho, it shall be unlawful for any person, corporation, partnership, association, organization, group, or entity to solicit money or to solicit, sell, or distribute any merchandise or printed written material or gather signatures except under license issued by the Board or the Director and except from a location and in a manner specifically fixed and designated by either the Board or the Director.

3. Applications for the following year's fair will be accepted no sooner than eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. of the last day of the current year's fair. Licensees must agree to abide by both the rules pertaining to exhibitors and concessionaires and the exhibitor privilege contract. One location shall also be made available for such activities at Les Bois Park.
4. For any events held at Expo Idaho not sponsored by Ada County, two (2) areas will be set aside for signature gathering or other public forum activities. Those areas are in front of the fountain stage and an area in front of the grandstand entrance to Les Bois Park. In the event that either of these areas are being rented or leased by exhibitors as part of their activities, the Director will locate two (2) other areas approximately ten feet by ten feet (10' x 10') near exhibition buildings or fairground open areas, provided such locations do not impede ingress and egress to exhibition areas. Such areas shall be available on a first come, first served basis upon application to the Board or Director. (Ord. 854, 4-5-2016)
