IMPORTANT: If you plan on setting up tents, canopies, umbrellas, or display items, please note that you WILL NOT be able to stake anything into the lawn. We ask that you bring cinder blocks, milk jugs filled with water, or sandbags to secure your area. If you bring a tent or canopy it may not be bigger than your booth space (11’x10’). Champ-level sponsors will get two 11'x10' booth spaces. The picture below shows what happens to a tent when it is not secured with cinder blocks/sandbags.

Conducting Business:

Also, please bring extra pens and pencils, business cards, and information pamphlets.
