FLEA MARKET POLICIES
Following are the policies that will be in effect for the year
2009 Flea Market.
The flea market will run only in conjunction with the conference dates, from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. No flea market sales will take place at the hotel parking lot prior to Friday. The Flea Market area will be sealed off and patrolled until the gate opens at 6 a.m. Friday. NO ITEMS CONTAINING MERCURY!!
New York State sales tax forms will be available. AWA is not responsible for sales tax. Neither AWA nor the RIT Inn and Conference Center are responsible for the security of personal property in the Flea Market area. We are asked to confine market activity to the designated area to avoid the NY State Thruway right of way.
The RIT management and the Conference Committee have devised a parking plan for Conference attendees to park at RIT on a first come-first park basis. There will no longer be a shuttle from the various motels to the Conference location. However, additional parking, serviced by shuttle buses, will be made available.
IMPORTANT! Illegally parked vehicles will be towed by a commercial towing agency and may not be available for redemption until Monday. The redemption price is very steep and must be paid in cash, so we urge you to park only in prescribed areas. If your car is towed there is nothing we can do about it!
