Market is a rain or shine event. Cancellations due to unsafe weather will be made through text or email as soon as conditions are known. This is the Market Manager’s decision because safety is our number one priority.
BOOTHS / FACILITIES
Outside booth space is based on a standard 10x10 pop-up tent. Spaces outside will be marked. Vendors must supply their own tent, tables, chairs, etc. The Market requires all vendors to tie down tents with 20 pounds of weight for each corner and we recommend stakes as well. However, guy wires are not allowed. If not secured a vendor may be asked to reinforce. Please know that Wind can be a great liability for the vendor. Market manager or assistant will be inspecting the booth for safety when collecting fees before opening.
Vendors are encouraged to have their own liability insurance. It is your responsibility. The Market liability insurance DOES NOT cover the vendor or vendors booth.
We recommend a tabletop sign or banner clearly showing vendors name and location.
