Show Dates: Saturday, December 14, 10-5
Sunday, December 15, 10-4
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 evening after 6:00. 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 on Friday you are welcome to do so, but please note that there is no 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. You can pick up maps and information from either organizer.
4) We have security overnight on Saturday. You can leave your display, cover it if you wish, please take your cashbox 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 a farther away part 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 Porta-potties available.
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. Last year I learned that two days on cold concrete was hard on my feet - consider bringing a small carpet and toe warmers.
11) 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 and Ithaca Coffee Company. There is a new 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 will be much more robust this year, 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 did this last year and it really helped. It’s still a good location - and you have HEAT!
12) It helps all of us if you clean up your space after the show. Pull up the tape and make sure you have all disposed of all 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!
