Tenants may bring their own register stand, chair, etc. but it needs to be within their allocated

“space.”

Is it possible to have the tents set-up on the Friday morning, and then left in a set-up position

thru Sunday evening to shelter the display items, e.g. tables, racks, etc., as long as vendor
