SUMMARY:Food Truck Inspection Rally (NOT A FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL)
DESCRIPTION:???????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????!\nJoin the BCFD Food Truck Inspection Rally \nThe Battle Creek Fire Department is hosting a Food Truck Inspection Rally specifically for food truck vendors. This event provides required safety training and on-site inspections — not a public food truck festival or sales event. \nVendors who complete the inspection process will be included in the Michigan Food Truck Consortium\, which is a big advantage: it makes it easier to operate in multiple jurisdictions with fewer repeat inspections. \n???? Thursday\, April 2\n⏰ 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM\n???? BCFD Station #1 — 195 E. Michigan Ave \n???????????? ????????????????????????????: ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????\n8:30 AM – Food Truck Safety Presentation (approx. 1 hour)\nInspections immediately following the presentation\nIROL food truck inspection stickers available upon completion\nOpportunity to streamline your approval to operate across Michigan through the Consortium \n???????????????????????? ????????????????:\nThis is not a food truck event for the public. Vendors will not be selling food. This is strictly for safety training and inspections.\nIf you’re a vendor\, we encourage you to mark “Going” or “Interested” so we know you’re attending — and please share with other operators who may benefit.
