Re: Clearance?

I don't know how it is in your state. But here in Michigan if you are selling Pre-Packaged items candy bars, chips, pop, etc. you don't need to have a food producers liscense. Only if you sell food the you are preparing fresh. Otherwise I don't believe you need anything, maybe at the most a peddelers liscense from the township, city, whatever. Best thing to do is call your local/state health department and then the City or County Seat in your area. Tell them what you are doing and see if anything else is necessary. Now when and if someone figures out how to do popcorn on a small scale then you may need a producers Liscense because you are making it fresh. It's possible that popcorn is exempt. Or like Mikey said above get a vendor and let him worry about all the paperwork.
 
Hope this helps.

Hi my name is Craig. I live on the west side of Michigan. This sounds like loads of fun. We have a chapter about an hour away from us in Traverse City. I would like eventually, if possible to start a chapter locally. Money as always is the determining factor.

My Favorite Movies: There are Lots that Are not on this list.

The Day the Earth Stood Still - Original - Not the new one. that was dissapointing.

The War of the Worlds -Original

The Time Machine - Again the Original

Forbidden Planet

All John Wayne's Movies

Almost anything Sci-Fi that's not Horror, especially the newer Slash and Gore. I Like the old classics.
Also like Stargate, Star Trek, Star Wars, Close Encounters of a Third Kind, Terminator, Iron Man, Spider-Man, etc. 

I hope I can put this together. I should mention that I am in a wheelchair so I may have to build something custom to make it work. Plus get a handicap vehicle. I will try and keep you all in touch if this works out. Great Idea Loved the Drive-Ins of Old. I met my wife at a Drive-In we both worked at that has been torn down now. I am 52.

Take Care Everyone.
