2. OUTDOOR BOOTH: 10x10 space (white tent required) $100


OUTDOOR VENDORS:
You are required to have a 10x10 WHITE tent. We also recommend putting 3 sides on your tent.  If the temperature is a bit brisk during market times,  the sides would help you keep the heat in.  It also visually separates your product from the neighboring booth. Sides also allow you to close up your tent on Friday night with minimal effort.  If you use sides, they must also be WHITE.
We will allow product trailers/trucks that are reasonably sized at one end of the marketplace village.  You have to let us know the dimensions of your trailer/truck to get approval.
The streets that we are using are in between the City Park and our indoor marketplace at Grace Hall.  This location has a ton of visibility to area traffic and is centrally located as a cross street between 2 main streets.  It's right next to the tree lighting on Friday night and Santa will be passing through the village on his way to visit with the kids at Grace Hall.
