The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (November 11) that a public auction for stalls at the 2016 Che Kung Festival Fair will be held on November 25 (Wednesday).
The annual fair will be held for 18 days from February 5 to 22 at Chui Tin Street Soccer Pitch in Sha Tin. The upset bidding prices for the 44 dry goods stalls and four wet goods stalls are $4,320 and $1,030 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 on the spot 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 22.
For more information about the auction, please call the FEHD's Sha Tin District Environmental Hygiene Office at 2634 0134.
