DOWNTOWN WESTFIELD ASSOCIATION | WESTFIELD, INDIANA
Wet Weather Policy
When rain is forecast for Thursday, or it is raining, don't forget that our policy on weather is to always be open, rain or shine. Why do we operate this way? That is because people depend on us, our vendors, especially. Unlike bricks and mortar merchants, our vendors have no place to sell their vegetables, baked goods, meats, eggs, what have you if we are not open. They have prepared all week for Thursday. So come to buy, whether it is raining, or the forecast calls for rain. The vendors will be present; our volunteers will be present; the only thing we need on those days is YOU.
Once the Market opens for business, the only time we close is if lightning comes within a five-mile radius of us. At that point, we sound a horn and make announcements that the Market is TEMPORARILY closed. And we ask all guests to stop buying, all vendors to stop selling, and everyone to leave Grand Junction Plaza or head for shelter at a nearby business until the lightning passes.
