Sylvia Renshaw and Dominic Farrow — September 18 market setup
Sylvia Renshaw (7:02 A.M.): The vendor booked for Stall C4 just called to withdraw. He was here earlier, but he has to go.
Dominic Farrow (7:05 A.M.): Let's give it to the first name on the standby list, Mr. Alderton.
Sylvia Renshaw (7:07 A.M.): We can't. His refrigerated van needs a powered stall to run the cooler.
Dominic Farrow (7:08 A.M.): Which stalls have that?

Dominic Farrow (7:13 A.M.): That works, but everything must be settled before setup ends at 7:30.
Sylvia Renshaw (7:15 A.M.): I'll go over to Row C now and find Ms. Delaine at her table before then.
Dominic Farrow (7:16 A.M.): Fine. I'll call Mr. Alderton and update the layout sheet afterward.
- A. It is the cramped stall that Ms. Delaine wants to leave.
