Please, if you have any questions at the show ask one of the managers. We are here to help you.

Parking:
Exhibitor & Public Parking is paid, via the fairgrounds. They have informed me there is some construction going on, so there may be some different routing getting in, so watch for the signs.

Drive In:
There are large drive in doors at each end of the hall. Please pull in, unload and pull back out as quickily as possible

Exhibitor Badges: I cannot tell you how many times at a sho dealers and layout members come up tome and tell me “I left my badges in the room”, or “They're on the kitchen counter back home”. To eliminate this problem, I do not mail out exhibitor badges. You will receive the badges at the show. They may be picked up at the show office when you arrive.

SalesTax: As of 12/08/2024, the sales tax rate was 7.50%.
