We are glad that we can open even though it's not the usual Saturday Market experience. These first few weeks will take some work to adjust to the new layout and rules. Here's a reminder of the new rules we must follow to stay in compliance with all government mandates as an open air shopping mall: • Staff and members must wear a mask. Members must provide their own masks; however, we have a few for any- one that doesn't have time to get one by their first market. • You are your booth's Social Distancing Officer. We will give you a sign that says "Please Keep 6' Social Distance" for your booth. This means you must ask your customers to maintain 6' distance. Call the Info Booth for help if you have any problems. • Move products to the front of your booth • No booth sharing unless you share with a member of your household. Only one member and one person from your household allowed in the booth at a time. • Only 1 customer allowed inside your booth at a time. • Sidewalls are highly recommended. • No strolling or busking. • No food samples are allowed. • No personal services such as massage, face painting or hair services. • Limit cash transactions. Try to use touchless credit card processing with no signature required. Sanitize your termi- nal after each use. • Have hand sanitizer in your booth. Mar- ket will provide the sanitizer while sup- plies last. • Consider covering products to mini- mize touching. Sanitize products after they have been handled. Saturday Market Check-In Our new socially distant map configuration requires some adjustments to our usual Sat- urday morning check in routine. • Reserve Members must claim their space by 2pm on the Wednesday be- fore your odd/even numbered space is available. Call us at 541-686-8885 or email [email protected] . to claim your space. You don't need to contact us if you don't plan to sell. • Reserve Members that don't sell on a day they have claimed will be held re- sponsible for the $13 booth fee. • Reserve members can sell when their spaces are not on the map as a non- reserve member. • All members using the Waiting List must check in at the Info Booth no later than 8:30am as usual. • We will send an email on Friday with a list of available spaces. Try to choose your top 3 spaces in advance. • All booths are spaced 8' apart. We will tie off the fronts of booths after every- one is set up to organize foot traffic.
