Products Guidelines:
The Montrose Shopping Park Association does not accept vendors into the market who wholesale or resell new merchandise except in the case of collectible vendors who market "vintage" items which constitute less than half of their product line. We do not offer booth space for homemade crafts per se. Any artisan selling crafts in our market must be actively engaged in the process of making samples of their product in their booth during market hours.

Availability of Electricity:
Electrical hookups are available for our vendors at no charge. Any use of electrical equipment is permitted under the supervision of the Market Manager.

Arrival Times:
Vendors may arrive for set up at the market no earlier than 7:00 AM and no later than 8:15 AM. MSPA reserves the right to "resell" booth space left unclaimed after 8:15 AM.

Booth Assignments:
Booth space assignment is not on a first-come first-served basis. Vendors are grouped together based on product categories and in an effort to accommodate type and size of product and product displays. Assignments are made on Saturdays and are made available to vendors upon arrival at the market from any event staff member beginning at 7:00 AM on Sunday.

Tents/Canopies:
The Montrose Shopping Park Association does not provide or sell tents or canopies, tables, chairs or other equipment or paraphernalia. Vendors must make their own arrangements for these items.

Off-loaded Market:
The market is an "off-loaded" market, which means that our vendors may not sell from their vehicles unless required by civic ordinance. Vendors are allowed to pull their vehicles directly up to their booth space to unload. They are then required to park their vehicles in designated parking spaces. At the end of the market, vehicles are allowed to enter the event area for break down and reloading under the supervision of the Market Manager.

Payment:
Vendor payments are due on the day of the event. Prepayment is accepted, but not required. However, prepayment does guarantee the vendor a booth in the market while same day payment does not. The market accepts payment in the form of cash or check made payable to "MSPA."

Reserving a Space:
Spaces must be reserved by Wednesday prior to the desired Sunday. Vendors are not required to attend every Sunday. They may select the dates which suit their schedule. Reservations may be made at the market at the Information Booth or by telephone only. No reservations are accepted by e-mail message.

Special Events:
The Montrose Shopping Park Association is the sole sponsor of the market and also produces a number of special events, including Founders Day, July 4th Block Party & Hot Rod Show, Kids 'n Kritters Day, Montrose Invitational Classic Car Show, etc. These events also include the Harvest & Thieves' Markets. There is currently no additional charge to participate as a vendor in these events. Events which are not open to the Thieves' Market include: the Montrose Arts & Crafts Festival and the Montrose Halloween Spooktacular.
