If you are interested in participating, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reserve a spot for you. As you know, the weather is quite unpredictable, so we are keeping open the possibility of outside spots, depending on the conditions. But even if it's cold outside, we have the warmth of the John Jay campus. Set-up begins at 8:30 am and we expect buyers to start coming by by 9:30 am. Vending ends at 5:00 pm.
