1 Start 2 Complete
  1. The market will have a designated "Market Manager" selected by the Christ Reformed UCC; hereafter, the Church. The Market Manager is responsible for market operations and has the authority to direct vendors to comply with provisions of all market rules, including those not specifically stated in this document.  The Market Manager reserves the right to order any vendor to remove from sale any spoiled or off-condition product from sale.
     
  2. The market will adopt operating hours at the beginning of each season. Any departure from these listed hours must be approved in advance by the Church.
     
  3. This is a "Producers Only" market.   This means vendors may only sell items being created or grown by their primary family unit.  This rule is waived for Entertainers who may sell directly-related merchandise. Entertainers may also collect tips.
     
  4. Entertainers must provide a sample of their work prior to being approved to participate.
     
  5. Entertainers are required to operate their assigned space in a safe manner and to make immediate safety changes when directed to do so by the Market Manager.
    1. Entertainers are required to maintain their stands in a neat and orderly fashion and be responsible for removing all debris at the end of each market day.
    2. Entertainers using tents or canopies are required to utilize solid weights to ensure their shelter is held securely in place.
    3. Restrooms are generally available at nearby businesses, and inside The Church, but the market is not responsible for providing these facilities to vendors.
    4. No running water or electrical power is available on-site.
      1. If electricity is needed, the Entertainer must supply a portable generator, in good working condition, with approval from the market manager.  Generators emitting excessive noise or fumes are prohibited.  Entertainers are also encouraged to employee a noise-cancelling enclosure.
         
  6. Although the overall market will be covered by the Church’s general liability insurance policy, Entertainers are encouraged to carry their own insurance.
     
  7. Smoking, vaping, the use of electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products, and the consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited!
    1. EXCEPTION: Sampling of alcoholic beverages from approved vendors, as part of their official market activities.
       
  8. All complaints must be in writing, signed by the complainant, and presented to the Market Manager for review and resolution. Producer Only complaints will require an inspection visit to the production location by the Market Manager. Any vendor refusing to allow an inspection shall forfeit the right to participate in the market for the remainder of the season.  No market dues will be refunded in such cases.
