• Vendors must be set up no later than 7:00 am so that there is no interruption in service. Vendors will be turned away if they arrive after 6:30 am. Vendors will not be permitted to break down setup before 1:00 pm for the summer market.
• Large trucks, those over 1.5 tons, must unload and exit the area no later than 7:00 am.
