We have some great new features at our market this
year, and the best way to learn about them is through
this
newsletter.
You will receive a copy of the Farmers Market Metro
every week, and we strongly recommend that you
read through it, as this is our primary mode of
communication to you as vendors. It may be benefi-
cial for you to hold on to these newsletters for your fu-
ture reference.
Wishing you a prosperous 2013 season,
Debbie & James
Barricades are erected from 7:00 - 7:15

Saturday. Once they are up, vendors are
encouraged to begin set-up as early as
possible.
Vendors are permitted to drive
vehicles in to unload, but
please drive straight out and set
up only after unloading is com-
pletely finished. This allows for
other vendors to enter and exit
quickly. All vendorsMUST BE COMPLETELY SET-UP
AND READY BY 9:30 AM.
There will be a
9:20 AM cutoff for vehicles to
enter into the market area, and
all vehicles must be off the
street by 9:30 AM.

shine market.

Shopping for the public begins only at 10:00AM
when the horn signals the open of the market.
Please do not sell anything to the general
public before this time.
From 9:30-10:00AM vendors can do their shopping,
though they must be wearing theirpurple vendors
button in order to make a purchase during this
time. Please do not sell anything to customers not
wearing a vendor button prior to 10:00AM.
For any new vendors, or those that arent aware,
there are some stalls that do not have parking.
We recommend that you park in the lot behind theHemingway Centre (formerly old RCMP Station), north-
west of the market or in the St. Albert Curling Club
Parking Lot. There are a large number of stalls re-
served just for us.
If you have parking with your booth, please do not
forget to bring lattice or a similar material to place
under your tires. This helps protect the beautiful St. Al-
bert grass, and it saves us all money as the City of St.
Albert must be reimbursed for any damages.

Remember to stop by the Chamber booth before
market start to get this years vendor buttons and
stall numbers.
Numbers must be displayed prominently in your
booth at all times.
On the back of every number is an emergency
zone number. This is extremely important because
in the case of an emergency you must tell the
emergency services which zone you are located in.
They have different entries into the market depend-
ing on the zone.
STALL NUMBERS
STALL LAYOUTA minor but important detail is to ensure that booths are
flush with the curb. This guarantees that you take advan-
tage of the MAXIMUM 10-foot distance from the curb.Please note, that everything must be inside your tent at all
times. For example, no signs can be outside of your tent.
Many of the vendors who have been here in previous years
may remember that the weather is unpredictable. We are
subject to not only rain, but also wind. We have learned
that in extreme winds, tents can turn into kites!
Please bring some sort of weight to hold your tent down in
the event of extreme winds.
If winds do become severe enough that you feel safety is a
concern, please put as much of your product in bins aspossible, keeping just what is needed to continue selling on
the tables. Dropping your tent may be the best option.

CANCELLATIONS

emergencies where a cancellation must be made. As
stated in the contract, there are no refunds for missed
days, and we require a notice of at least 48 hours so
that we can find someone to fill your stall and keep it
warm in your absence.
