Drive In:
There are two Roll up doors in each of the back corners of the building. As always, we ask you pull up, load or unload as quickly as possible, and move your vehicle to a parking spot, to allow others to load in. Please do not block doors, and allow for a fire lane. There is NO driving inside buildings

Exhibitor Badges: I cannot tell you how many times at a sho dealers and layout members come up tome and tell me “I left my badges in the room”, or “They're on the kitchen counter back home”. To eliminate this problem, I do not mail out exhibitor badges. You will receive the badges at the show. They may be picked up at the show office when you arrive.

SalesTax: As of 11/10/2024, the sales tax rate was 10.25%.
