Booth set up will be on Friday, April 22nd between 12 noon and 7pm. All booths must be set up during this time. The large doors will be closed for the evening and the heat turned on. They will not be reopened until after the show on Saturday in an effort to retain as much heat in the building as possible.
The show will be opened to Vendors at 8am Saturday, April 23rd. The show officially opens to the general public at 9am and runs to 5pm.
Tear down will occur after 5pm, Saturday April 23rd once the show has closed. We do ask that vendors clear out everything and leave nothing behind. We cannot guarantee that any forgotten items will be returned.
Booth Placement
Booth placement is given in order of priority to Sponsors, order of payment and placement in proximity to other like businesses. Final placement is at the discretion of the Show Committee and decisions are final. Only Sponsors are given placement selection options as described in the Sponsor Packages. The Show Committee will attempt to accommodate other placement requests on a first paid, first request basis. Efforts have been made for all areas of the show to have points of interest to ensure full traffic to the entire show.
Parking
There are various doors on the north, west and east sides of the building that you may access on set up day, Friday, April 22nd.  Large doors will be open to the outside to accommodate vehicles / forklifts, etc. Please note that it will be cold in the arena on move in day due to open doors.
On the day of the show, Saturday, April 23rd, all vendors are required to park in the north parking lot and to leave the front west lot (off Simcoe Street) for the patrons of the show. Side doors will not be open during this time in an effort to retain heat in the building.
