Vendor Information

• Booth Size is 10X10. Canopies must fit inside a 10×10 space. Be sure to check the size of yours to make sure it will fit, as some are bigger and will not fit.
• Each vendor is required to provide all necessary tables and chairs – canopies are recommended.
• Please don’t forget your weights – tents/canopies without weights will be asked to be taken down.
• There is no WIFI available so be sure to have a personal hotspot, or other method for running credit card transactions.
• Be sure to keep your cash box secure and have plenty of change for yourself.
• The event is pet friendly – it is very popular for people to bring their dogs, and they are often in costume 🙂
• This is not a trick-or-treat-street event, but you can have candy or other treats to pass out if you wish to.
• There is a costume contest that will be happening throughout the event
• Check in for the event is 8-8:30am. There are FOUR check-in points. Vendors will check in at one of the following check in stations: One is at the Northwest corner of 1st Ave and Strong St. and the other is at the corner or Main St. and Cabbage Ave. Food Trucks will check in at the corner of Cabbage Ave and Strong st.  The 4th Check-In Point is for those vendors who received an email letting them know they are South Main Street Vendors.

• If you are checking in after 8:30 you will go to Bee & Thistle Marketshops at 43 N Main St. to check in.
• If you are not checked in by 9:00 you will not be able to drive to your space and will be required to walk your items in from the closest parking lots.
• Checkin after 9:30 is not permitted. If you are not checked in by 9:30, you will forfeit your space -NO exceptions – your vendor fees will be forfeited and you will not be allowed to participate
• Please be set up and ready to go by 10:30 – the event doesn’t start until 11, officially, but, since it is an outdoor event, people will start wandering much earlier and you will miss out on many opportunities to build relationships with potential customers if you aren’t ready early 🙂
• You will be allowed to drive your vehicle to your space and quickly drop off your things and then move your vehicle to the closest parking lots. We will have some volunteers on hand to help you unload your items from your vehicles. Do not set up tents or canopies until your vehicles have been moved.  Please pull your vehicles as far to the right or left before unloading to allow other vehicles to pass you.
• If you do not show up for the event, you will not be invited back to another event. No shows will not be tolerated. If you are sick, please contact one of your vendor coordinators.
• You may not sell anything in your booth other than the items you originally described on your application (for example, you may not include your LuLaRoe inventory with your hand crafted items)
• Don’t forget to bring extra people with you to help – it gets crazy!
• We will provide trash bags, please clean up your area before you leave, but if you bring small grocery sacks to pick up trash throughout the day it is super helpful.
• Booth spaces are not given out until the morning of the event – no exceptions
• If you want your space to be next to another vendor it is imperative that you arrive for check-in at the same time.
• The use of speakers, sound systems, microphones, etc is strictly prohibited unless prior permission has been granted.
• There is no electricity available for any of the vendor spaces. Small, generators are allowed, as long as they are not too noisy and don’t produce a lot of smell or fumes.
• Permission must be obtained in order to do any performances/demonstrations/etc that will require any additional space other than your 10×10 space
• This is an outdoor event. Be prepared for cold, snowy or rainy weather. The weather often changes quickly. The event will not be cancelled unless the conditions are too bad to hold the event. In the event the event is cancelled you will be contacted as soon as possible. Refunds cannot be given if event is cancelled.
• Vendors are allowed to do a “soft pack up” starting at 3:30pm. This means back stock and extras can be put away and you can start preparing to pack your booth. You may NOT take down your signs, or the bulk of your inventory. Your booth must still look like a functioning booth until 4:00pm.
• Vendors have 45 minutes to pack up their booths and clear the streets. The event takes place on city streets that will be closed to traffic. We have a time limit and the streets have to be re-opened promptly after the event. We cannot open the streets to drive vehicles to the booths, until the pedestrians have cleared the streets. Please plan accordingly.

• You will arrive on a 1st come/1st parked basis and set up on the side of the street appropriate for your serving window to be facing the inside of the street.
• You will need to unload your trucks/vehicles from your trailers and go park in the nearest parking lots, you may not stay hitched for the festival. (Please contact me if this is a concern)
• Food Vendors are located on Strong Street on the East side of Main Street and should check in at Check In Point #3
