You will not be allowed to park on any City Streets. You will need to unload your vehicle and then move it to the designated parking lots as soon as possible. We have had a great deal of success in eliminating congestion by the use of assigned set-up times. They are 7-7:30, 7:30-8:00 A.M. Please try to have your vehicle moved as close to this time as possible. Regardless of circumstances, such as late arrival, you MUST have your vehicle moved out of town before 8:30 A.M.

The City will again furnish shuttle bus service from the Windsor School complex.

SPACES: Space size is 10' x 10', any tents, booths, tables or chairs will have to be furnished by each individual licensee. You will be sent a map of the lot you are on, and your spaces will be indicated on the map, as well as on the upper right-hand corner of your license. This will be the only area you will be allowed to sell from. Since one page of the application will serve as your license form, please do not write any notes on the application itself. Just attach a separate piece of paper to the application.
