2022 Fall Fest Block Captains

BLOCK CAPTAINS As Block Captain you are the primary point of contact and information for your artisans. Block Captains guide the artisans on their block from arrival and set-up to tear down on Monday. Block Captains play a vital role in making sure each of their artisans gets their materials unloaded and set up without creating problems for other artisans on the block. Block Captains are required to stay in touch with their Artisans throughout the weekend but they are not expected to be at the Fest all day, every day. On Monday, after the Fest closes, the Block Captains will help guide the artisans through checkout, packing up, and leaving. Block Captains have to be on their blocks during setup and tear down. Some blocks setup on Friday afternoon (about 3:00 pm) and Saturday morning (about 4:00 am, yes, AM). Other blocks don’t start to set up until Saturday morning (at 4:00 am). All of the blocks start to tear down on Monday afternoon at 4:00 pm. Block Captains are expected to check in with their artisans throughout the Fest, but they are not expected to be at the Fest all day, every day. Being a Block Captain is a lot of work, and they have a lot of fun! SCHEDULE: In addition to setup and tear down (described above) you should be on your block for at least an hour at the beginning of each day (8:30-9:30), be at the afternoon meeting (around 3:30, but times may vary), and on your block from after the meeting until about 5:30 Saturday and Sunday.
