Warrens approves $25 transient-merchant fee for cottage baker to sell on village property
Summary
The board approved a $25 transient merchant application fee and agreed on possible village locations for Rachael Courtade — a cottage baker operating as Rachael’s Sweet Bites Bakery — to set up a weekend canopy during camping season, subject to coordination with village staff.
Rachael Courtade, who identified herself as a cottage baker operating under Rachael’s Sweet Bites Bakery, asked the board for permission to set up a canopy on village property to sell baked goods during the camping season (April–October). She told trustees she does not require a seller’s permit under cottage-baker rules and can provide proof of insurance if necessary.
Trustees discussed possible locations, including the parking lot near the Cranberry Café, Peterson Park and the Community Building grounds, and asked Courtade to coordinate with village staff if events conflict. The board reviewed a Transient Merchants Application and approved a $25 application fee after minor edits; Tonna Claussen sent the application and follow-up email to Courtade on April 9, 2025.
The approval is limited to village-owned property; Courtade will follow the office’s scheduling and insurance requirements when setting up sales days.
