All tables are 8 feet long by approximately 30 inches wide, and cost $85 each. Tables are not considered reserved until receipt of payment! If you cancel your space at least 30 days prior to the show, a refund or credit will be provided without question.  With less than 30 days notice, a refund or credit will be given ONLY if the table can be re-sold.

The show will now be held in the Expo Center (not the Armory) at the hotel. Vendor set-up time is from 6:30AM to 9AM. Please do not arrive before this time! Show hours are from 9:30AM to 4PM. If your vehicle is less than 7 feet high (including small u-haul type trailers 8 feet long or less), your easiest and closest loading will be directly from the indoor parking garage ($5/day-have your parking coupon stamped by us).

 Larger vehicles can load from the loading dock area (a few steps) in the back of the open Armory parking lot, and a limited number may temporarily unload on a space-availabl basis from circle in front of the hotel (do not block driveway!).  Once unloaded, oversized vehicles can park either in the open Armory parking lot as previously, or in the metered spots along Pleasant St. (meters free on Sundays).  Easiest loading is from the Armory entrance behind the hotel off of Pleasant St. The open lot next to the Armory will be used for loading and parking LARGE vehicles and trailers only- space there is limited. Smaller vehicles less than 7 feet in height can park on the street (meters free on weekends as of early 2008), or in the covered hotel parking garage at a 50% discount off of the posted rates.
