• Event Planning Manager will schedule and stagger arrival of vendors so there is never more than 2 trucks unloading at the same time.  Because we don’t have a loading dock having more than two trucks on campus at a time will create a safety issue for pedestrians on campus as well as too many vendors going through the gardens disturbing our guests.
