Non Reserved Vendors:
Dear Non-Reserved Vendors
We have 8 NR spaces this year. The market will run the same as last year. All NR vendors are welcome to call me the week before the market to put their name on the list for a vacant reserved space. I will not take any calls before the market ends. Please do not call until after the market is over to put yourself on the list for the next week.
All NR spaces are first come first serve. NR vendors are expected to line up on First Street around 5:00am. No one is to enter parking lot until all cars have been removed by the police. If you do enter please understand that you may be ticketed by the police.
Keep in mind in previous years NR vendors took it upon themselves to share spaces. This is always an option for those days when we have an overflow of vendors. We do not want to turn anyone away. The more vendors we can generate in NR section the better; it creates more interest for everyone.
The Following are some general rules that apply to all vendors:
A $5.00 per day plus 6% of your sales will be collected at the end of each market day.
The vendor agrees to be in his/her space and ready to sell by 6:45am. (Arrival after 6:45am may result loss of selling privileges for the day.)
Vendors are expected to stay until 12:00 noon. If you must leave earlier please notify market manager before unloading merchandise. No traffic will be permitted during market hours.
The vendor agrees to follow the guidelines and responsibilities as stated in the rules and regulations attached.
Vendors must have pink registration form visible at all times.
Please respect neighbor’s space, therefore stay within the lines. 10 x 10 canopies not allowed at the City Market unless you have a space and a half.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Market. It’s going to be a great year!
Sincerely,
