Show Dates:
Saturday, December 13, 10-5
Sunday, December 14, 10-4
(You are required to attend both days)
Location: Triphammer Marketplace, located at the intersection of Rt 13 and Triphammer Rd, Ithaca. In the ReUse atrium and the Ithaca Bakery Atrium
1) We will be taping out the spaces and moving things around on Friday (Dec 12) during the afternoon and early evening. We could use a couple of volunteers for this - email us if you are interested!
2) The building is never locked, so you are welcome to set up at any time on Saturday morning. Please be ready to go by 10:00. We anticipate a good opening shopping crowd! If you need to drop anything off on Friday evening you are welcome to do so, but please note that there is no overnight security and the building will not be locked - this is completely at your own risk.
3) Jill and Christi will be on-site starting at 8:00 both days. Check in with Christi when you arrive on Saturday morning, and pick up your welcome packet.
4) We have security overnight on Saturday. You can leave your display, cover it if you wish, but please take your cashbox or anything extra-valuable with you. And a disclaimer from the LRW: we are doing due diligence and have event insurance, but the LRW is not responsible for loss or damage.
5) The building is all on one level, with many access doors. There will be a couple of hand trucks available, but bring your own if you have one and consider sharing it. Load in and out is very straightforward.
6) You are welcome to park at the curb to unload, but then move your car to the farther reaches of the lot when you are done - this lets other vendors unload easily, and also will allow our customers to get prime parking.
7) Please be there for the whole show: do not pack up early on Sunday as that looks unprofessional and doesn’t sit well with the organizers. If you have an emergency and need to leave, just let us know.
8) Restrooms: located in the Ithaca Bakery, and we are working on having a porta-potty available near the ReUse entrance.
9) Wi-fi: there is wi-fi throughout, and we will give you the passwords the day of the show.
10) Heat: the ReUse atrium has heat! But Ithaca Bakery atrium does not. We are sheltered, and it’s not as cold as outside, but plan on wearing layers and warm shoes. Over the last few years I learned that two days on cold concrete was hard on my feet - consider bringing a small carpet and toe warmers. ABSOLUTELY NO SPACE HEATERS.
11) Food and Drink: There will be lovely coffee available from Copper Horse Coffee in the ReUse atrium (please bring your own reusable cup if you can)! Also food and coffee available from the Ithaca Bakery, who will have a presence in the atrium as well as their shop. You can order online from the Ithaca Bakery, which makes for quick pickup. There is also a sports bar in the Re-use atrium called Longshots - they have a full bar menu with takout options, and will be open both days.
12) Anyone who is concerned about traffic reaching the ReUse atrium: we have put a lot of thought into helping increase flow. There will be music throughout the event, the coffee is there, and our signage is quite robust, with big arrows pointing to this side of the event. We ask all of the IB atrium vendors to verbally tell their customers that there is another whole collection of vendors over by ReUse - we have done this for the last to years and it really helped.
12) It helps all of us if you clean up your space after the show. Pull up the tape, move back any furniture or plants, and make sure you have disposed of all of your trash.
12) Have fun! Be kind to your neighbors! We appreciate you all participating, and the level of professionalism you all have shown over the years. Thanks for your patience and flexibility. We anticipate a great weekend!
Extra note: the building manager told me two positive things: first, that he had never seen the parking lot that full, and second that we were the most organized event he has worked with. Hooray! Also, the other businesses in the building are very glad we are coming. :)
