Vendor Approval Process: Vendor space is limited. City staff assigned to the market will review all vendor applications to ensure a well-rounded and high-quality market experience. The City is accepting applications from a variety of craft/artisan vendors, local small businesses, and food providers, that positively contribute to the environment of the Winter Market. The Winter Market is meant to create a fun-filled holiday season inspired environment for all to enjoy, and shop for good food, and crafts. Complete Applications from vendors shall be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Complete Application

• Presentation (display plan)
• How the vendor contributes to the environment of the Winter Market

In addition to this criteria, Vendors shall provide copies of any and all applicable permits and licenses, including cottage food permits, mobile food unit permits, food worker cards, business licenses, etc. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis each week on Thursday until spaces are filled. All applicants will be notified of their status via email once the review process is complete. The City reserves the right to reject any and all applications based on the criteria listed above. Approved vendors will receive confirmation materials with setup details, event expectations, and any additional requirements ("Approval Documents").

Upon acceptance of a Vendor by the City, these Rules and Guidelines for Vendors, the Vendor's submitted Application, and any Approval Documents sent to the Vendor, shall together form the complete written agreement between the City and the Vendor (the "Agreement"). Any inconsistency in the parts of the Agreement shall be resolved in the following order of precedence (e.g., 1 presiding over 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; 2 presiding over 3, 4, 5, and 6; and so forth):
