GENERAL INFORMATION The Ester Village Farmers & Craft Market is a local open-air summertime market, sponsored by the EMCE, a committee of the Ester Community Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The EMCE provides this venue in the hope of supporting local businesses and nonprofits; funds raised are used to support the market through advertising and supplies. REGISTRATION Vendors are expected to register the first day they participate in the market, and to check in with the market manager on any subsequent day they participate. The market manager will give each new vendor a registration form, which should be filled out and presented to the manager with the season fee before the start of the market. FEES AND FORMS Season Fee Vendors pay a one-time annual season fee of $10; this applies no matter how many times the vendor participates or how many market days are left in the season. Sales Percentage Vendors pay the market manager 5% of their day's sales. A sales slip will be given to each vendor at check-in, which should be filled out and returned to the market manager at the end of the market day with payment. Checks should be made to Ester Community Association or ECA. GOODS AND WARES Produce
