end Sept. 27, according to town planner Sara Nadolny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She said Friday the plan is to divide the market into zones where four or five vendor booths are situated 6 feet apart to avoid a large group of people gathering, which follows COVID-19 protocols.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Specific types of vendors may be located in certain zones so if people are just looking for produce, they only have to go to one area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\"

is being proposed as live entertainment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nadolny said the town wants to be able to provide a venue for people to socialize from a distance and enjoy the summer season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s a different year and we want to find that bright spot,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a little gem in the valley, and it will be nice just to see another person and be outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"><a id=\"N0xeed730N0xea9100:N0xeed730N0x1079108\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/eagle-county-request-would-aid-restaurants-and-lodges-in-basalt-and-el-jebel\/\">The Eagle County public health order<\/a> is contemplating gatherings of 50 people or fewer, but they still need to follow the 6-foot rule for social distancing, wear a mask and follow other COVID-19 guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cPeople need to take responsibility and use their own sense of safety,\u201d Nadolny said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Marc Benchimol, the county\u2019s environmental health specialist, said he needs to consider the market\u2019s disease risk control plan and the guidance around farmers markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI want to work on this aggressively and keep this moving,\u201d he said, adding he first needs to deal with the reopening of restaurants next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nadolny said the town is waiting for the green light to let vendors know what the plan is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She said 35 of them are confirmed, and include produce growers, prepared food vendors, general artisans, jewelry makers, hats and accessories like face masks, and a booth for voter registration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hours of operation would be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a
