Burr Ridge Market on the Green Application 2010

Dear Burr Ridge Market on the Green Prospective Vendor,

Thank you for taking the time to apply for one of the best new farmers’ markets around town! We are pleased
with the momentum we have gained in the past two years and look forward to building upon our success and
community tie-ins.

Burr Ridge is a new retail area that is rapidly expanding and we have been on the forefront of creating one of
the most anticipated events of the year. Not only have we fed community’s knowledge of why it is important to
shop local, but we have watched as the demand for quality vendors and offerings has grown. Hosting this
event at the Village Center is advantageous for us and the 30+ retailers and restaurants who reside here.

Our top priority has always been building great relationships with our farmers, vendors and patrons. We feel
our reputation is what makes our location distinct and will launch us into being recognized as the premier
market in the western suburbs. Burr Ridge’s slogan is “A Very Special Place,” and we aim to create it on the
Village Green each and every week. A few exciting changes to this year’s market include:

• Extended season: Adjusted calendar to 16-weeks, from June 17- September 31, 2010.
• Operating hours: Market will run from 9am-2pm each Thursday morning.
• Demo Kitchen: Local and regional chefs will create a weekly schedule of themed topics designed for
children and adults alike.
• Increased Sponsorship: Areas of value have been identified and an increased community role in the
market will be evident.
• Organic/Sustainable: Increased focus on this element in vendor selection, educational topics and
community alliances.

Please read this application carefully and use the Final Checklist at the end of the packet to ensure you have
everything you need to be considered for the market.

Thank you again for your interest in the upcoming market season. We look forward to a successful summer!
Application deadline is Monday, March 15, 2010 at 5 p.m. We will notify vendors by March 31st.

Sincerely,

Laura Valcour Lavonne Campbell Kimberly Mans

VI. Market Rules for Vendors
Please read the following rules and regulations carefully, and keep for your records.

A. Display Guidelines
• We will operate as a rain or shine policy. In the event of poor weather, we reserve the right to
cancel on-site assistance, musicians, cooking demonstrations, and children’s events.
• Products must be sold directly from tables in your assigned area. Unless approved by Market
Coordinator, all cars/vans/trucks or trailers must be off the market street no later than 8:45 am.
Ample parking is located behind the buildings on the east and west side.
• Vendors must furnish their own tables, chairs, tents, tent leg weights, table cloths (cloth must
reach the ground on front and sides), signage, display arrangements and rain protection as the
Market will not supply them.
• Ingredients list must be displayed on all items.
• The Market is an open area with no shelter provided. We request all vendors to display their
products in a professional manor.
• Due to safety concerns and insurance liability, no children under 10 years of age will be allowed
to participate as or with vendors.
• The Market is a smoke-free environment, and smoking is NOT permitted within 100’ of the
Village Green. We ask that you go to the vendor outdoor parking lots and refrain from loitering
near the four main entrances/corners, breezeway or parking garage entrances if you smoke.
• Please be respectful of the Village Center residents by keeping noise to a minimum in the
morning during set-up.
• All products must be clearly labeled with item, price, and city/state if grown outside of Illinois. All

soap. Cook County Department of Public Health guidelines are also available by contacting
Kamala Nagaraj at (708) 974-7118.
• Please consider attempting to decrease your plastic bag usage when possible. One suggestion
is ask patrons if they need a bag rather than automatically supplying one. Complimentary
shopping carts as well as pickup/drop-off service are available near the entrance at the
Information Booth.
• Vendors must remove all waste and refuse from their spaces before leaving the Market.
• For safety reasons, all vendors must stay until the end of each market day even if you run out of
