site info
In otherwords don't compete with the local vendors.
and don't create an increased cleaning situation for facilities.
At So Cal we clarified the site rules. They just didn't want any "hard" food brought in from the outside - no glass bottles, no fried chicken that would leave bones...
Turned out we could bring in "soft" foods - i.e. pizza, mcdonalds, subway, unless the crowd got so big and facilities felt the need to "tighten" the rules and scale back to no soft foods allowed in at all either.
So Cal "site info" uses the same words "Do not give out any free products..." and goes on to give examples of what they mean, edibles and drinkables.
Our team gave out nut n volts magazines, yo yo's, frisbees, rcu armbands...in addition to buttons.
