• There will be one entrance and one exit. This will allow us to limit the number of people who are allowed in the market at any given time so that we can all spread out and socially distance ourselves

• Please Look for “enter” signs and follow the arrows for flow.  This will help shoppers/vendors stay 6 ft apart from the nearest person.

• If possible, please only have one person per household come to the market at a time.

• All pedestrian traffic within the market will flow in one direction so people are less likely to have to get close to each other. The loop will pass by each vendor stall.

•  Please do not linger. We ask that you collect what you want and need and then exit as soon as possible. With limited access to the market, we need people to get in and out as fast as possible.

• In an effort to limit contact, there will be no New Hope Market tokens to sue as cash at the info booth. PLEASE PLAN ON BRINGING CASH TO THE MARKET.

• PRISM plans to be on site and will have EBT and SNAP support again this year.
