CHECK-IN
You may not pull a car into the market area to unload your items. Wagons work great.
You may begin setup one hour before the event, at 10am.
Booth spaces are assigned on a first come first serve basis.
BOOTHS
All booths are a 10′ x 10′ space and all belongings must fit within that space. (If the canopy you own is larger, send message along with your registration and we will try our best to accommodate.
Children may sell different products in the same booth.
Children bring all their own supplies (table, canopy, chairs, etc.).
A canopy or umbrella is recommended.
Power is not provided, nor is there access.
If you sell out, you cannot break down your booth until the end. Put a Sold Out sign on your table and enjoy the rest of the market.
PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
Parents should avoid answering questions, taking orders and handling products or money. You can assist your child when needed, but try to give them the opportunity to interact with the customer.
Parents should not sell for their children. If the child leaves the booth for any reason, put a “be back soon” sign on the table.
Sit in the back of the booth, read a book, and act like you’re not listening. Removing yourself (figuratively speaking) is what makes this an incredible learning experience for your child.
We welcome children with disabilities or special needs to participate with any necessary parental assistance.
