“Vendor Insurance is required once your application is approved. Vendors must provide their own liability insurance, with an A- rated insurance company or better by A.M. Best & Co. A Certificate of Insurance (COI) from the vendor’s insurance company evidencing liability insurance coverage in an amount not less than One Million U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for any single occurrence and naming Bluemont Citizens Association k/a Bluemont Fair as both additional insured and certificate holder, coverage must be on a primary and noncontributory basis and waive subrogation in favor of Bluemont Citizens Association k/a Bluemont Fair. (Occurrence forms only; Claims Made policies or certificates will NOT be accepted.) Please provide this information to your insurance agent in advance so your COI will be issued correctly and in a timely matter.”
As soon as possible after your application has been approved, please ask your insurance provider for a Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI), showing proof of your coverage for our event. It needs to list the Bluemont Citizens Association as “Additional Insured” and “Certificate Holder”, at the following address:
Bluemont Citizens Association
PO Box 362
Bluemont, VA 20135
Please email your COI to: insurance@bluemontfair.org, or send to the above PO Box.
