On the second Saturday of each month, we hold the Second Sturm Swap Meet in conjunction with the normal market. Following is an excerpt of the Second Saturday vendor guidelines: What can be sold on Second Saturdays` Imports, second -hand items, things not made or grown on the Hawaii Island. As long as it is family friendly, it may be sold in the swap ineet area on Second Saturdays. our every - Saturday Market vendors may sell swap meet- eligible items on Second Saturdays at their regular indoor booth spaces ONLY IF the quantity of swap meet items does not equal or exceed the quantity Hawaii- Island made /grown items AND ONLY IF selling swap meet items does not require expansion of your regular booth space. What cannot be sold on Second Saturdays` • Illegal items • Alcohol • Any items that the market manager or committee deems objectionable to family it clientele. On Second Saturdays, the swap meet vendors set Lip on the SPACE lawn and are additional to the normal market vendors and are therefore not included in the 50 vendor limit. we average 4-8 swap meet vendors in the summer and 6-12 in the winter. The SPACE Market Committee has set the current policies for the market and reserves the right to change then. In the past, we have had entertainers at the market. This included mostly singers and musicians, with an occasional circus performers, dance-, etc. when the cease and desist order was issued its March of oio, we discontinued the entertainment because the County Planning Department ruled that it was a form a public performance which we were not allowed to do. Since then, the market has not allowed any public performancc, even to go as far and asking someone to stop who was strolling around, quietly playing their ukulele while they shopped. We believe that entertainment greatly enhances the experience of a Farmers Market and this it is a normal practice of most markets, both on the Big Island as well as other parts of Hawaii and the mainland. we hope to resume entertainment at the market after the amendment is approved. we would like to provide low-keyed, family- friendly entertainment which would be subject to the same noise level restrictions as the other events proposed for SPACE. The market is advertised in the following ways: SPACE website and newsletters Local newspapers calendar section • State -wide and national website listing Farmers Markets Local magazines such as Ke'ola in their listing of markets around the island Any other free listing of i arket Occasional local Newspaper and radio ads when grants are received which provide money for Paid advertising.
