- 10 vendors are currently paid, 10 pending
- thinks currently there is an appropriate balance between number of attendees and vendors
- would like to see this event grow to more vendors and attendees in future events

- will have a woman from the department of revenue come down before the event to help them with their sales tax (potentially have regular classes here during the year on handling sales taxes)
- no food trucks, will most likely be cooked out on the veranda in the garden (we are looking into food handlers license)
- alcohol will not be sold or provided by MakeICT for this event since we did not specify that in the event application to the city
- Does not interfere with the current alcohol policy
- for future reference: will need to know how much of our frontage along Mt. Vernon was rocked for parking (currently have the okay to park on the grass for this event)
- we were given a list of vendors from the kechi farmers market to possibly bring out to
