Security:

You may be required to show your booth sales receipt for vehicle access to restricted areas for set-up and tear down purposes. Make sure you have it or you may be denied entry.  There will be limited on-site volunteer security at all times, as a courtesy to our vendors, however we cannot be held liable for lost, stolen or damaged product and/or vehicles. You are ultimately responsible for your own safety and security.

 

Exhibits;

Each booth space is 10’ x 10’ exactly.  Do not encroach on your neighbour.  Please ensure that your display does not obstruct the view of neighbouring exhibits. 

If providing your own marquis, your booth must be flame resistant & will be safety and fireproof inspected to ensure that marquis/tent pegs are not a tripping hazard & there are no fire hazards.

 

Marquis;

Art Vendors will be inside our artist’s village tent, unless they opt to bring their own marquis and pay the reduced fee. Chairs will be provided.

 

Staffing;

You are expected to maintain staff in your booth at all times during event hours.  Very limited volunteer staff may be available to assist for short periods of time at your request for washroom & food breaks.

You will be permitted signs in your designated area only.  All other signs will be removed.
