Terms & Conditions:
No political booths, please. The governing body reserves the right to revoke any registration with a full refund.
Vendors will be entitled to a 10x10 space. You will be responsible for bringing your own equipment and supplies, including but not limited to tables, chairs, tents, generators, cash boxes, etc. Each vendor is also encouraged to bring signage displaying your business name and product pricing.
Set up will not begin before 7:45 a.m., and we ask that vendors be set up and ready to sell no later than 8:45 a.m. You must plan to move your vehicle off main street directly in front of Centennial Park (Warehouse St.) to allow for customers and food trucks prior to 8:45 a.m., so please unload and then set up accordingly.

Vendors must completely clean their booth space at the end of market, including transporting trash and recycling off site.
Finally, it is the vendor's responsibility to be familiar with local, state and federal regulations governing the products they sell. Sampling must meet Douglas County Health Department code.
