Setup Information

• Set up times are between Wednesday June 17th, 2020 starting no earlier than 12 pm to Thursday June 18, 2020 until 10 pm.

• Vendor location on The Site is pre-arranged. Please, contact Artisans Alley Co-Cordinators or representative on-site when you arrive. Do not set up before you do check in with them; you will also receive your wristbands at that time. Gaelyn is the On-Site Go-To Gal!
• Hours: Vendors should be open by 10 AM and stay open until at least 9PM during Fair, but you may be open longer than that if you wish. It is to your benefit to be open as much as you can. However, please be aware and respectful that we have a ban on use of generators during overnight hours.
• Electrical power is not supplied to Artisans’ Alley. You need to bring your own generator, etc. Please ensure it is quiet and as environmentally clean as possible to protect our site, air quality, and our patrons. Use of your own solar lights is encouraged, to reduce the amount of time that your own generator needs to be operating. Thank you for your cooperation.

• Camping is allowed at your vendor site, as per designated area. You may use one vehicle as part of your site. PLEASE NOTE: The Fire Lane and access to it runs behind and beside parts of Artisans’ Alley; it is imperative to keep it clear and open. Keep your vehicle in the area designated behind your vendor site, parked as orderly as possible, and be prepared to move it if not. Additional vehicles must be kept in day parking.
• Vehicles are not allowed for travel on the site except during set-up and takedown. Takedown hours begin after close of The Fair, approximately 7 PM Sunday.
•Be prepared for any and all weather conditions. Sun, rain, wind, hot or cold.
