Vendors will be responsible for all set-up needs and space will be limited to both spaces. Vendors can provide their own tables and chairs. These must not be a hazard to the public or other vendors. Limited electricity is available. Vendors are only allowed to set up in their assigned space. Under no circumstances will vendors be allowed to break down or leave early, as this disrupts the overall event. In such case, the vendor will not be accepted to future events. Upon breakdown, vendors must leave their space clean and free of debris.
