Please pull up along the curb or other designated load-in space and check in with a Vendor Coordinator when you arrive as booth assignments are subject to change. Once you have checked in, please completely unload your car with product and supplies, then proceed to park your vehicle before setting up. No tents may be set up until your vehicle has been moved from the vendor area.

Please be aware of your surroundings and do not unload in the thoroughfare/driveway/other vendor spaces. Please remember to take deep breaths and be kind and courteous to your fellow vendors during the load-in process!
