Guidelines for the Paschal High School Band Boosters Holiday Gift Market

1. • Merchants are solely responsible for their merchandise, property, business transactions, and collecting and reporting of Texas sales tax.

2. • Set up hours will begin Friday at 7:00pm until 9:00pm, and Saturday morning at 7:00am. All set up must be completed by 8:45am.

3. • All booths must remain open, manned, and ready for business during show hours. Breakdown may begin at 4:00pm on Saturday and must be completed by 6:00pm. Packing and leaving while shoppers are still onsite looks very unprofessional, so please plan to be with us until closing.

4. • All tables must be covered to the floor (preferably fabric) and all packing material must be concealed to create a professional appearance. Please make sure that no items are outside your booth space. Aisles must remain clear for safety.

5. • Only the sale and promotion of your approved items are allowed. You must have a product to sell – no advertisement-only booths. Sales activity cannot take place outside of your reserved space, and distribution of information or samples in any other location is prohibited. Booth sharing or subletting is strictly prohibited.

6. • We ask that all vendors dress appropriately for a Christmas gift market.

7. The Fire Marshal will not allow burning candles.

8. • No sound equipment may be used.

9. • Be sure to bring all necessary equipment for loading and unloading. Each space must be completely clear of all items, including trash after the market.

10. • Security personnel will be on duty from Friday evening through the show on Saturday. However, it is your responsibility to prevent theft, damage and accidents in your booth space. All credit card merchants should be aware that there are people at these types of events who will use stolen credit cards. Please take all precautions to protect your belongings, merchandise and yourself.

11. • This is a non-smoking facility.

12. • Free parking will be provided for your personal vehicles and trailers onsite.

13. • If you have reserved electricity, please bring extension cords and surge protectors.  The distance to the outlet varies from booth to booth.
