VENDORS / SELLERS:
Last year was great but it costs money to put this thing on. I am charging a nominal fee to regain my expenditures. So what cost money? (you may ask) The space itself, the insurance for the space, the posters, port-a-potties, people and time, believe me, it adds up! So here is the deal:

Call your friends, empty out their garage and make money!
- 5' x 5' spaces are FREE (donations are gladly accepted).

SET UP:
You may begin setting up as early as you wish. I should be at the location at 5:30am or so. The swap starts at 8:00am and I will NOT be holding people at the door. ALL people selling stuff with trucks and vehicles, weather they be employees cars or whatever, ALL NEED TO BE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT 7:30am, NO LATER.
PARKING:
I need to make parking easier on ALL the residents and attendees! Please, if you are selling, park in a legal spot and far from the swap so others may come and go. I will tell you where to park, take a bike and ride it to the swap (it's not far!). Thanks!
TEAR DOWN:
When things die down and the parking lot isn't jammed anymore you may go and get your vehicle and begin to load. Please make way for passing and parking vehicles.
