11.  Loading and unloading zones are allowed near booth spaces before and after event hours.  Place your vendor permit in the dash to avoid being towed. Permits can be picked up at the Chamber office or requesting one be mailed.  PLEASE respect other vendors by allowing them space and time to unload. Load/unload swiftly and drive slowly out of the event area.  You MUST park outside the road closed area or you will most likely be ticketed by law enforcement.
