Note: Available reservation dates are at the bottom of this page. Please read all the info before calling in a reservation. TO RESERVE: Please email Betsy Cook, Market Director to request a date, at betsycook@comcast.net. Have this information ready: 1. Which available date you would like (see calendar below) We reserve the right to refuse space for any reason. COLLINGSWOOD FUND RAISING/COMMUNITY GROUPS: QUESTION: Can I raise money or distribute information for my school group/charity/organization at the Market? ANSWER: Yes, but with restrictions. The Market has become a very popular attraction for donation-seeking school groups, sports teams, and charities. In the interest of fairness and organization, we must insist on getting permission in advance to use the Market for fund raising purposes. Bucket-style panhandling is not allowed at any time. Need an idea? Soft pretzel sales are our most popular fund raising request. We need advance notice so you may sell in Pretzel Factory's space. Offering a raffle prize or face painting for tips is popular as well. "Bake sales" and products similar to farmer/vendor items are not permitted. Pretzel orders (reserve dates first!): The Market does not handle your pretzel order, you must order and pickup yourself. Call Cheryl or Sherri Pope at the Pretzel Factory: 858-6161, the week of your sale. Contact the pretzel factory directly with questions about ordering. Their store is located about three blocks from the Market and they are familiar with Market orders. 2008 Fund Raising/Community Schedule Fundraising and/or community space is a first come, first served opportunity. Please limit reservations to two dates max per group or team (this keeps dates available for others). You may reserve more dates after your first reservations have passed. You will be given appx. a 10 x 10 space to set up yourself. All tents, chairs, and tables must be provided by you. Arrive around 7-7:30 to be ready by 8. Come to the information tent to check in. Your group is a guest at the Market. Our farmers and vendors agree to not call out, walk through crowds with signs or solicit sales from shoppers from outside of the market space they occupy. We ask that you conduct your fund raising with the same respect for this Market rule. Don't forget to bring signs that let people know who you are fundraising for--and telling friends and family to come out and support your sale may also increase your success! 2008 Calendar +*June 14: "Team Collingswood" Pretzel Sale +June 21: Collingswood Crew Club Pretzel Sale ^*June 28: Susan G.
