The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (November 9) that stalls for the coming Che Kung Festival Fair would be put up for public auction on November 24.
The annual fair will be held from February 11 to 28, 2010, at Chui Tin Street Soccer Pitch in Sha Tin. The opening prices for the 44 dry goods stalls and four wet goods stalls are $2,840 and $790 respectively.
The auction will begin at 2.30pm on November 24 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. Children under six years of age will not be allowed to enter the auction venue.
Anyone can bid for more than one stall. A successful bidder must pay the bid price of the stall immediately after the auction or will forfeit the right to the stall, and the stall concerned will be re-auctioned immediately.
Stall licensees must 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 28, 2010.

Stall licensees should not destroy or abandon any unsold commodities at or in the vicinity of the stall. They may surrender unsold flowers and plants left behind at the stall to the FEHD at no charge, cost or compensation, before 10pm on February 28, 2010.
