The Board of Directors and Members of the Wentzville Community Club (WCC) continually strive to maintain and improve the grounds and facilities, as well as our Bingo and Flea Market operations. To ensure the best possible results we must from time to time, amend, incorporate or remind you of our rules and guidelines.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in these matters.

KITCHEN HOURS
(Inside Flea Market Building)
5:30 am - 2:00 pm
1.RENT: To maintain the property and continue our support of the community, our space fees are $20.00 per space. Only persons over the age of 16 will be allowed to set up and/or sell from your space and must be present at all times.
The WCC representative will begin collections first thing, so the payment must be ready and available when he/she comes around to collect. Failure to comply will result in a $10.00 additional fee to your rent payment.
2.ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: ALL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE PROHIBITED ON THE WCC (FLEA MARKET) PROPERTY effective immediately. The only alcohol allowed on the property is that which is sold by the WCC during its Bingo operation and special events sanctioned by the WCC.
3.DISALLOWED ITEMS: NO Ammunition, NO Drug Paraphernalia, and NO Animals.
No animals of any kind may be on the WCC grounds.
4.RESERVED VENDOR TAGS: Must be displayed in a prominent place. Failure to display your tag will cause you to be charged an additional $10.00 for each incident. Failure to pay these fees by or with your next month’s rent will void your reserved status. Reserved vendors MUST pay for the month, in advance, on the 1st Sunday of each month. Failure to comply will result in a $10.00 additional fee to your rent payment. Repeated late pays will cause you to lose your reserved space (we have a wait list for reserved spaces).
5. INSIDE VENDOR PARKING: Inside Vendor parking is provided in the small parking lot on the South side of the building. One vehicle per vendor may be parked on this lot. When all parking spaces are taken, you must park in the large parking lot.
6.FOOD PRODUCTS (including samples of prepackaged goods): All food products, including water, must be pre-approved by the Board of Directors of the Wentzville Community Club. You may submit your request to the email address under contacts on the website. The Board meets on the first Monday of the month.
Any application for any food or beverage sales must be completed, submitted and approved prior to any sales. Click here for details on health dept. forms. All rules and regulations set forth by the WCC and St. Charles County Health Dept. will be strictly enforced and monitored for compliance. Violators will not be allowed to continue sales. Your written approval must be posted for public review in your stand at all times.
7.OUTSIDE VENDORS: Vendors and their helpers MUST park within their rented space. Any additional vehicles must be parked off site. Violators will be charged double rent for parking in customer parking areas. DO NOT park on grassy areas as the City of Wentzville has an ordinance prohibiting this within the city and they will ticket your vehicle.
8.REPORT RENT ‘DODGERS’: If you see someone leaving before paying their rent, get their license number and we can take action. If we can catch them to collect the rent, we will give you one space rent free for one Sunday. If you leave before paying your rent, the fee will be double the rent for such action. A bill will be sent to the violator with 18% interest that shall accumulate until paid. Please pay your rent at the brick building if you must leave before we get to you to collect.
9.WCC IS NOT A BANK: Be sure you bring adequate change for your sales for the day. WE DO NOT CARRY ANY EXTRA MONEY FOR VENDORS TO USE AS CHANGE. The Kitchen will NOT accept large denominations for purchases. Purchase required to receive and kind of change.
10.DRIVING AROUND: NO VEHICLES are allowed to drive through the Flea Market between 8:00 am and 11:00 am FOR ANY REASON!! If you sell a large item it must be carried out or picked up with a vehicle AFTER 11:00 am. This is for the safety of everyone.
11.OVERNIGHT STAYS: You MUST stay with your vehicle! ABSOLUTELY NO MERCHANDISE IS ALLOWED IN YOUR SELLING AREA UNTIL 6:00 AM SUNDAY. Violators will be dealt with.
-- NO OPEN FIRES/FLAMES ARE ALLOWED!
-- LIGHTS OUT/QUIET TIME AT 11:00 PM! Be considerate of others.
Your vehicle must be parked within your vendor area. Do NOT encroach into your neighbor’s selling area. You can set your tables up in your space prior to 6am. You can set up your tents in the evening.
12.NO SAVING SPACES FOR OTHERS! If you have blocked off two spaces and someone comes between 10:00 pm and 5:00 am to help you sell, they MUST park in the space and bring no merchandise. But if someone comes in the space after 10:00 pm and has merchandise with them, we consider that saving a space. Such actions will double the rent for both spaces affected.
13. TRASH REMOVAL: Please pick up around your selling area before leaving for the day. Please leave all trash next to the trash barrels at the end of the day for pick up. Take ALL unsold merchandise and products with you. We don’t have the capacity to dispose of everyone’s unsold items. Organizations like Salvation Army and Goodwill will happily accept your unsold items.
14.VENDOR ADVOCATE/REPRESENTATIVE: There are three Vendor Advocates to assist in building a stronger and more open relationship between the Flea Market staff and the Vendors. These individuals are volunteers from the Reserved Vendors. You may refer to the inside counter for the names and space #’s.
15. Vendor Advocates:
Please inquire for the space #’s inside the building at the counter.
