Information
All artists will be responsible for their own set up, break down, and sales. All artists keep their revenue.
We tried the City's mobile broadband device and it didn't work very well. You will have to make sure you have data to use on your device or make sure the system you are using can work offline. As far as I know no one had issues taking payment with no WIFI.
Set up will begin at 8:00 am and breakdown begins at 2:00 pm. I am asking that you do not break down before 2:00 pm.
You will not be able to drive up to your spot. Make sure you bring a cart to help carry items. Once you have unloaded, please move your vehicle to the parking lot.
Tents can be any color.
All artists will receive a 10' x 10' space.
You will set up between the bases for the light poles. They are 10' apart. I will be there to help you find a space. .
There will be a porta potty.
If you need lighting in your tent please remember to bring battery operated lights.
If there is bad weather, we will cancel the market and it will not be able to reschedule. If we are going to cancel the event, due to weather, I will send an email by 5 pm on Friday. We will also refund you. As of now it looks like it is going to be beautiful weather.
Christy Williamson will the event musician.
