Drive In:
There is a large drive in doors at the rear of the hall. Please pull in, unload and pull back out as quickily as possible. There are also multiple doors around the facility you can use. As always, we suggest you bring a cart.

Exhibitor Badges: I cannot tell you how many times at a show 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 10/08/2025, the sales tax rate was 6.875%.
