Rainier Marina Market Plan, Rules, and Regulations Our Mission We hope to create an exciting market attracting locals, visitors, boating and river traffic, and prospective residents of Rainier. We plan on featuring fresh fish, bakery, fresh produce and plants and garden related items and quality arts and crafts. Since we can be open year round, we can expand our market to include special holiday events, Christmas shopping, and lots of specialty items which we could not have in an open air market. Dates and Location: The market location is inside the newly remodeled building at 115 East “A” Street in Rainier, right next to the Bank of America. Dates of operation are open to discussion by the vendors, but to start, we will begin the Market on Saturday April 26th, and run every Saturday through December 13th.Hours are 10 to 4 daily. Set up time begins at 8:30 each day of operation. Vendors who have committed to consecutive weeks may leave some of their set up in their location for the following weeks. Some vendors have suggested additional days of the week, and if there is enough interest, w e can certainly add days. The plant and produce vendors who set up outside the building can add as many additional days as they wish for slightly reduced fees since the building and restrooms would not be open. But, reservations must be made in advance and vendors are responsible for their own trash disposal. Facilities The leased space inside the building includes electricity, heat, water, lights, and two brand new restrooms for vendor’s use. Garbage receptacles are provided, but vendors are responsible to deposit their trash in these receptacles. Also provided for vendors are one 10’ table, and 2 chairs. The back walls of each display area have pegboard. Vendors need to provide their own pegboard hooks. The building owner has insurance for the building and its premise, but vendors are responsible for insurance coverage on their goods, and products. Limitations Vendors in the market will sell only home made or home crown products, fresh produce, plants and trees, hand made gift items, or food items. Food vendors MUST have a food handlers permit, and meet all state and county requirements. There are no drugs, firearms, alcohol or smoking, weapons, or questionable products allowed. The Market Committee will have final approval on all items, and may reject any items not deemed suitable. Non Profit Organizations Non-profit organizations are invited to share a 10’ space for no charge for literature and information only. Space will be given on a first come first served basis with preference to organizations who have not been given space previously. No items would be sold in the non profit space. If non-profit organizations wish to sell products, raffle tickets, etc., they will be charged a $15.00 per day fee. Space Rental Spaces will be assigned locations on a first come first served basis, with long term lessees having first choice. All vendors will pay a one time only annual $20.00 registration and advertising fee. Fees will be greater for one time vendors but there is no registration fee. Fees would be paid in advance to guarantee desired space. Fees are also collected at the door during set up time which begins each market day at 8:30 Advertising/Promotion Advertising will consist of extensive signage and A boards, local newspaper and radio, press releases, window signs, and public speaking and presentations at local organizations. Some vendors will be featured in our advertising, so if vendors have pictures and information they would like included in press releases, send them to the Market Manager.
