DAY RENTAL - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: My registration number is __. Is it likely that I will get a booth? Answer: Most months there are at least 80-85 booths for daily rental at Market Days, so if your registration number is less than that, you will get a booth. Often the numbers are artificially high because people register, and then don't show up on Saturday. The line is always shorter than you think it will be. October and November are the busiest months of the year. Please expect delays and long lines on those months and be patient with the process. Question: What time do I need to arrive? Answer: You should arrive around 7:15am on the Saturday of Market Day. Arriving earlier than that will not get you special treatment. Question: Where do I go? Answer: Daily booth assignments are made under the Main Pavilion, located at the front of the market, between gates 1 and 2. Question: When will I get my booth assignment? Answer: Our annual renters must check in by 7:00am for each market. After 7:00am the field personnel confirms empty booths and brings the list to the Daily Rental staff at the pavilion. As soon as the list arrives, the assignments start. You should have all your paperwork completed before the assignments start in order to avoid delays. Question: Where do I park? Answer: You should park only in lots that have the Lions Club emblem. Tell the attendant that you are a day renter and you will not have to pay to park. Question: How do I get my products to my booth? Answer: After your booth assignment is made, you may drive your vehicle to the booth and unload your products. There will already be shoppers on the paths at this time, so please be careful as you drive in. Unload your products quickly, then move your vehicle back to the parking lot before you come back and display your products. Do not leave your vehicle parked on the path while you arrange your display. Question: Do I need display tables? Answer: Yes, you should bring anything you need to display your products. Question: Do I need a tent or awning? Are the spaces covered? Answer: Almost all spaces at Market Days are covered. You will not need a tent or awning. Question: How big are the spaces? Answer: The booths at Wimberley Market Days are all different sizes. Most are at least 10 x 12 feet. For an idea of the booth variety, look at our Photo Gallery. Question: Is there electricity at the booth? Answer: Yes, all booths have electricity. You may use up to 7.5 amps, which will handle most common uses, including small fans. You may not use heaters or air conditioners; these are prohibited in all booths. Question: Can I hand out brochures? Answer: We do not rent spaces to vendors whose sole purpose is to hand out literature regarding a business or service (example: resorts, timeshares, We Buy Gold, etc.) You must have a product for sale in the booth. Exceptions may be made for nonprofit organizations with special permission of Market Days management. Question: Do you take credit cards? Answer: Payment for daily booth rental must be made by cash or check. Question: How much does it cost? Answer: Day rental is $60 per day. Question: How late do I have to stay in my booth? Answer: You must stay until the market closes at 4:00pm. Those who leave early may not be permitted to rent at our market again. |
