NOTE: If you have to show up late, you can still load in using our carts. VEHICLES ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN FROM ENTERING THE MARKET AREA DURING MARKET HOURS.
OPERATING HOURS:
Vendors are required to stay open until the scheduled end of the event. Leaving early may mean that you are not invited back (except in case of emergency, or unless other plans are made with us prior to the event).
VENDOR SPACE ASSIGNMENT:
Vendors will be given a limited choice of spaces. We do not work strictly on a first-come, first-served basis as there are many limiting factors, e.g. day/s you are vending, reserved corner spots, booth size, etc. - We will try to accommodate special requests for spaces, however, special requests ARE NOT guaranteed.
LOAD-IN:
After you are shown to a spot, please unload your vehicle/s before setting up your tent or any part of the booth. Please just unload all of your things out of your vehicle, and then immediately MOVE YOUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE MARKET AREA. DO NOT SET UP YOUR STUFF. JUST UNLOAD YOUR STUFF, GO PARK, AND THEN COME BACK TO SET UP YOUR BOOTH, PLEASE. THIS WILL HELP EVERYTHING GO SMOOTHER AND QUICKER FOR ALL.
CANOPIES/TENTS:
Canopies/tents are not required, but if using one, it must be weighted down to keep it from flying away and injuring people or damaging property. (One-gallon water jugs tied to canopy legs work well.) If your tent injures people or damages other people's property you will be liable. NOTE: If gusts of wind are over 30mph, you may be required to take your tent down for safety.
