Good. The rule is stupid and deserves to be worked around. Water is essential. I hate when I go to these kinds of public places and they give you no option to get water other than bringing it yourself. Poor logistics on the part of the event organizers.
My city has bullshit laws like this that are created solely to continue the monopolies held by gangsters and goons who pay politicians for their support.
In my city a food truck can’t park within view or 100ft of a restaurant. The reasoning was that the food trucks would hurt restaurants. But if the restaurant can’t compete with the food truck food that’s on them, and it sucks us all over who want a bite but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a sit down meal

The official reason for such rules are usually “we need a mix of vendors” or something like that.
The unofficial, true reason is usually that the organizer wants to be the only one selling water so they can sell it for $5.
I like that we’re allowing images here instead of just text only.
Thank you, that’s good to know!

Doesn’t that mean literally no food trucks along Main Street or wherever all the shops are?
