Set-up will begin at 9:30 a.m. and must be completed by
10:30 a.m. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with set-up.
Exhibitors' vehicles are not permitted to enter the park without prior approval. Temporarily park near the Nature Center to offload your exhibit. Volunteers will
direct you to your space and assist with carrying/carting display materials. Special arrangements will be made for exhibits that are exceptionally heavy
or large.
Parking: Once you have off-loaded your exhibit, park in the neighborhood across the street.

If requested, one table per exhibit will be provided. (We will NOT provide chairs.) We strongly suggest that you provide chair/s, tent/shelter.
Please have a representative at your exhibit throughout the event.
More than one exhibit staff person is recommended so that exhibitors can visit other displays, network, have a snack and enjoy the event.
