VENDOR SPACE

• We are planning to make each participant’s space roughly 10’X10’.  
• However, with the Market being outdoors, the measurements may not be exact, so be prepared for uneven surfaces and maybe a little mud.
• You may bring pop-ups and other coverings.  
• If you’re using electricity, you can bring Christmas or market lights to string.   Anything that you need to plug in must be low voltage, as the grid is incredibly sensitive.  For that reason, we cannot allow electric space heaters, coffee pots, etc. 
• PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN EXTENSION CORDS to plug into adjacent light displays!!!!!!!! 
• We ask that you be completely set up and parked by 4:30 p.m., as patrons will be bussed to the park promptly at 5:00 p.m. 
• Also, we ask that you not set your tent up too far into the roadway. 
• Keep in mind that we must have enough room for an emergency vehicle to pass through the park.

• Vehicles will them be released to return to the Artisan Village in numerical order according to where you were set up.
• We must stress that no one is permitted to exit the parking lot until AFTER 9 pm.
