Load In & Load Out Guidelines
Load In (Friday – 7 AM till 2 PM)
- All vendors must be present at least an hour prior to the opening of the dealers’ room, and their booth must be complete prior to the room opening. Loading in and setting up when the dealers’ room is open causes disruptions and may impact sales for other vendors. Unless prior arrangements are made, load-in, when the room is open, will not be permitted. Arrivals after the dealers’ room has opened Friday will be allowed to load in after the dealer’s room closes from 8 PM – 10 PM and Saturday morning from 8 AM to 10 AM. Vendors who have not arrived by 3 PM on Friday or reached out to the Dealers’ Room Coordinator by 3 PM on Friday will forfeit their space and will not be given a refund. The Dealers’ Room Coordinator has the option to offer the forfeited space to a vendor on the waitlist for Saturday/Sunday.
