Please join us for our 2nd annual The Market @ UJ held on Allen Field on the University of Jamestown campus and hosted by the Student Engagement Team (SET).

This event will be designed to target University of Jamestown students but will be open to staff, faculty, and community members as well! We look forward to connecting our UJ population to the greater Jamestown community and introducing them to some incredible growers, makers, and creators! 

-This event will begin at 4:00pm, and all vendors must be set up and ready by this time. No late arrivals will be accepted. Vendors are welcome to arrive after 1:00pm to begin set up. Tear down must be completed by 9:00pm. 

-Since a large amount of the audience will be college students, we encourage you to offer goods at a variety of price points, but vendors with goods between $5 and $15 will likely be most successful. 

-Vendors should bring their own tables, chairs, tents, and signage. Spaces will be approximately 10x10. Power supply is extremely limited. If power supply is necessary, please contact student_engagement@uj.edu for more information. 

-There is a $20 vendor fee to participate in this event. The fees will be used to purchase reusable totes that we will give to students earlier in the week to promote and advertise the event. The  students who bring their reusable totes to the market will also receive a voucher for $5 off their purchase that UJ will sponsor and pay for. Vendors should accept these vouchers as gift certificates, and students are responsible to pay the remaining balance. At the end of the night, vendors will "cash out" their vouchers with market staff to be out paid by UJ through credit card or by invoice. With this program, all vendors will receive full value of their items for sale.

-Direct Sales representatives are allowed to register but will be limited to 1 vendor booth per company and priority will be given based on first to submit registration. Any duplicate direct sales vendors will be declined and refunded. 

-Should there be inclement weather, we will move indoors to the Newman Arena. A weather related decision will be communicated via email by Tuesday Sept 10th at 5:00pm. Should this change occur, some spaces will need to be less than 10x10 in order to accommodate indoors. More information will be provided if the shift in venue is necessary. 

-Refunds will not be issued for this event unless the host decides to cancel the event in its entirety. 

-For questions regarding this event, please email student_engagement@uj.edu or call Sara Robinson (Director of Student Engagement) at 701-252-3467 ext 5442.
