• You must set up on time before event begins and clean up your area once event ends at 4:00pm. Final booth number will be the permanent space provided to vendor. Do not ask to be moved to a different booth number/space on the days of the event as the result would cause a domino affect of requiring multiple vendors to relocate to please one individual.
