The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (November 8) that a public auction for stalls at the 2014 Che Kung Festival Fair will be held on November 21 (Thursday).
The annual fair will be held for 18 days from January 28 to February 14, 2014, at Chui Tin Street Soccer Pitch in Sha Tin. The opening prices for the 44 dry goods stalls and four wet goods stalls are $3,910 and $930 respectively.
The auction will begin at 9.30am at Wo Che Community Hall, Wo Che Estate, Sha Tin. Dry goods stalls will be auctioned first, followed by wet goods stalls.
Bidders must be at least 18 years old and ordinarily resident in Hong Kong.
Anyone can bid for more than one stall. After successfully bidding for a stall, the bidder must immediately pay the bid price and register in his or her own name as the licensee of the stall. The bidder is also required to sign at once an express warranty and a licence agreement with the FEHD, or will forfeit the rights to operate the stall.
Stall licensees should not mutilate, destroy, damage or abandon any unsold commodities at or in the vicinity of their stalls. They shall completely remove the stall structure and all paraphernalia, together with all refuse, debris and unsold commodities (whether damaged or otherwise) from the licensed area before 10pm on February 14, 2014. They may surrender unsold flowers and plants left behind at the stall to the department at no charge, cost or compensation whatsoever before the said time.
