ATTENTION VENDORS!   We ask that you not play music at your tents, while the band is playing.  It’s fine to play music during set up or when the band is on a break.  Thanks for your cooperation!  Also, a reminder that vendors should NOT "hawk their wares”.  We want Sunday to be a laid-back day for everyone.
