General Policy

 

 

AMPLIFIED MUSIC POLICY

 

The Market does not allow amplified music of any kind without staff approval.

Furthermore, vendors that wish to play music MUST get written sign off from their neighboring booths on both sides and directly across from them to gain permission. This all about due consideration of your wonderful neighbors. If they have to listen to your music,be sure you listen to them too.

 

NO OOZING BEYOND YOUR BOOTH SPACE

 

All sidewalks and fire lanes must be clear at all times.

 

Vendors may sit in chairs in the side walk without obstructing

pedestrian traffic or wheel chairs passage. Vendors displays and products

must fit within their booth space. A $50 penalty may apply for repeat disregard.

We strongly recommend you design your display so that products accommodate

the space. We also recommend buying a second booth if necessary.

 

SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT IN ALL OPERATIONS OF THE MARKET.

 

 

HAUL IT HOME

 

Please take your Trash with you, and leave your space clean.This includes all trash, food bits, and recycling.Every vendor is responsible for keeping their vendor space clean and attractive during the day and leaving the space clean at the end of the day. A tarp, broom, and garbage bags should be part of your equipment. The trash bins are for market visitors only. Every vendor is expected to leave

NO TRACE/ NO MESS behind at the end of the day.

 

TAKE IT ALL WITH YOU. $50 FINE APPLIES.

 

To any vendor stuffing any market trash bins, or leaving a mess behind at end of day, all fines must be paid before vendor will be allowed to sell again at the market.

 

EACH OF US IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING A CLEAN, TIDY, AND SAFE MARKET.

 

SHARING BOOTH POLICY

 

Members are allowed to share a booth with a fellow vendor. How a vendor(s) wants to display and set-up within their shared space is between them.

 

ALWAYS SECURE YOUR VALUABLES

 

Don't leave cash box on your front table or unattended at anytime. While rare, most crimes occur because of a perceived easy opportunity.

 

CANOPY WEIGHTS ARE REQUIRED TO VEND

 

NO WEIGHTS=NO CANOPY

 

Because of wind gusts, all canopies must be tethered to 20 lb weights on each leg. Tethered means securely tied down. 20 lbs is the equivalent of a two gallon jug of water. (See CANOPY GUIDLINES).

 

No Early Breakdowns

 

Everyone is required to stay till the end of the market. Permission for early departure must be arranged the market manager in advance and only in special circumstances.

 

Fines and Penalties

 

With regret: for those without respect for the Market mission, safety regulations, their fellow vendors, common sense rules, professional behavior, spirit of cooperation or legal ethic the market has an escalating scale of fines and penalties. All fines must be paid before a vendor will be allowed to sell again at the market. Penalties range from suspension to termination of vendor privileges.

 

No Hawking

 

Vendors will be discouraged from speaking louder than a conversational tone to customers. Sampling is to be offered from the vendor space only.

 

Disparaging other vendors products is NOT an acceptable selling technique.

Vendors should keep in mind that diversity and creativity is a goal of the market,

and variety is encouraged; politeness and respectful regard for other

vendors products is expected as part of professional selling demeanor.
