To those of you who have never applied to the show before, welcome!
Remember: Friday night is opening night and will be open to the general public. Parking is now free throughout the weekend.
Jurying: This jury process was the basis for your acceptance into the show. All work was judged based on design, technical skills, originality, and creativity.
For more information on refunds, booths, etc. please read the rules.
Security: Will be provided on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Sales Tax: It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to collect and pay to the state.
Show set-up: Thursday, August 28th (time TBA). After you set up, you must move your car to the designated area behind the orange fence, or wherever the parking plan is at the time.
Show hours:
Friday, August 29th: 4:30 – 6:30 pm.
Saturday, August 30th and Sunday, August 31st:10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Important: do not move your car or break down before 4:00 pm on Sunday, the show has to maintain a certain standard. Also, do not leave boxes or trash anywhere in the hall or on the grounds. You may dispose of your trash in the large dumpster outside the kitchen door.
You must bring all tables, chairs, props, and display units for your products. I advise you to bring someone to relieve you during the show.
Space restriction: Your entire display must be within the confines of your space as allocated. Your access or that of your customers cannot encroach on a neighboring display. All boxes, etc. should be stored out of sight. Tables should have a neat appearance with front and sides closed in. You must remain at your booth for the duration of the show, and may not move your vehicle near the barn or tent before the show has officially ended.
Parking / Unloading and loading: Please pay special attention to this because it is a privilege to be at the Agricultural Hall. Cars driven fast on the grassy areas dig into the soft ground and the Ag Society has asked us to be more careful about how we drive (especially when the ground is wet) to set up and break down. No one may drive their vehicles to the back of the barn by the horse ring or the front of the hall outside the kitchen. No one may pull up the handicap ramp to the front doors, and do not move any cones.
