Vendors will be entitled to a 10x10 space. Spaces are first come, first serve.

We ask that vendors be set up and ready to sell no later than 8:45 a.m. Vendors must move vehicles from the parking stalls on main street - directly in front of Centennial Park (Warehouse St.) - to allow for customers and food trucks to park - and this must be done prior to 8:45 a.m., so please unload and set up accordingly.
*Parking is available on the streets adjacent to downtown or across 156th St. next to the police station. (Accommodations for our disabled vendors can be provided with previous notice - email: benningtonchambercoord@gmail.com).
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. The guidelines and application for a retail farmer's market permit can be found at www.douglascountyhealth.com.
