It will NOT be canceled for bad weather. We will be at the corner of Lucky Street & Main Street at 8:00 am Friday morning to assign your space. You will not be allowed to set up before this time. All traffic must enter Main Street (at Rite Aide) in one direction during the festival. You will be given a space number upon arrival. Do not call ahead asking for your space number.
