FAQs
Can I sit/stand with my booth at the boutique (multi day event) to talk to customer?
1
No Boutique events are set up with cashiers and floor walkers. Vendors do not stay with their booths to interact with customers. Vendors expected to sign up as floor walkers and those responsibilities are described in a link below.
Are Meetings Recorded?
2
Yes but the recordings are not made public. We use the recordings and transcript to be able to compile meeting minutes so that we can be present in the meetings and not worry about taking detailed notes during the meeting.
Can someone else set up my space, do shift and take down?
3
Yes but it is YOUR responsibility to inform them of what the rules are, if they don’t follow the rules then the responsibility of that falls back onto the you as the vendor.

If you have questions that have not been answered in the above questions or the links below please email: info@sprucebog.com Please note that we will answer when we have availability. We are a team of volunteers and will answer your email however it could take several days or a week. If it is a very time sensitive issue please write “Urgent” in the subject line.
Is Child Care Provided during set up or take down?
Or Can I bring my kids with me during this?
5
No Child Care is not guaranteed to be provided and children that are small enough to not actually be helping with the set up and take down should likely be cared for elsewhere as there are many vendors setting up and taking down at the same time and small children that may prefer to be running around or moving around the space can become a safety concern when we are moving large pieces.. we do not want the children or vendors to be hurt nor do we want vendors products to be damaged due to an accident that can be prevented. Occasionally we will have a volunteer offer to do this however that will be communicated if / when that is an option.
What is the policy if I can’t attend a Volunteer shift I have signed up for?

From the Floor Walker link below:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU CANNOT WORK YOUR SHIFT:
YOU ARE, first and foremost responsible for finding a replacement for your shift; the facebook group is the best place to find someone to work. It must be someone who knows the duties of the shift to work!!!! It is up to you to pay the replacement- it will not come off your check.
We currently recommend a value of $50-$60 due to current minimum wage and the length of the shift
If you find a replacement email Naomi - your name and what shift and then who will be working for you.
IF YOU DO NOT LET Naomi KNOW BY 8PM THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR SHIFT; THAT YOU CANNOT WORK THERE IS A $100 fee!!!!
How will I be paid after a Boutique event?
7
When there is a boutique event on or after the last day the Finance Director and a 2nd board member will write out all the cheques for the vendors and make them available for pick up.
For the 2026 Spring Boutique: the cheques will be available at the event after take down occurs. If you are not able to pick up your cheque at this time it will be available for pick up the next business day at the Bra Boutique down town.
We are NOT able to do e-transfers as payment as our Non-Profit bank account will not allow that kind of transaction. all payments require 2 board signatures and this can not happen with a e-transfer.
