Typical Characteristics <br />• Addition to an already existing <br />program or event <br />Approximately 10 to 15 vendors at <br />most <br />• Most feasible indoors, potentially in <br />the Alexander Ramsey Room <br />• Could also have an outdoor <br />component, though this would be <br />more weather -dependent and likely <br />require additional resources <br />• Limited duration, likely one evening <br />Operational Considerations <br />• Indoor space is limited and may <br />require tradeoffs with existing <br />event elements, such as use of the <br />craft room in the case of the Tree <br />Lighting <br />• Other meeting room space may be <br />available, but would likely reduce <br />vendor count and fragment the <br />event layout <br />• Outdoor vendor space is more <br />abundant, but would likely require <br />heated tenting, lighting, and other <br />amenities to be attractive to <br />vendors <br />• Still requires vendor recruitment, <br />regular communication, paperwork <br />collection, setup planning, and <br />day -of coordination which could <br />be partially or fully offset by vendor <br />fees <br />Resource Implications <br />• Lower cost than a standalone winter <br />market <br />• Indoor format may reduce weather - <br />related infrastructure needs <br />• Outdoor format would increase <br />costs significantly if tents, heat, and <br />lighting are needed <br />Still requires staff capacity during <br />an already busy time of year as <br />vendor recruitment would need to <br />be posted on a set schedule ahead <br />of time. <br />19 <br />
