We ask that you do not break down your booth(s) before the designated time. This is a safety hazard and neither fair to the attendees nor to the other exhibitors. Therefore, representatives who are present with their booth(s), and remain fully set-up and open at 1:30pm on Saturday may entered a drawing to win $250 cash. You must be present to win. Any dismantling, packing or activity which would indicate closure of the booth/display, in part or in full, before official closing is prohibited. If an Exhibitor acts in breach of this provision, it will negatively affect their ability to participate in the following year’s show.
