BOOTH ASSIGNMENTS
Complimentary booths are assigned on a space available basis.  You may select a booth of your choice.  Should a paid commercial exhibitor select your booth location, another will be assigned by the exhibits chairman.  Because of that, we cannot confirm an exact space in advance.
CREDENTIALS
Two exhibitor badges will be granted to each club or group.  Names and calls for the badges must be submitted in advance on the club application form.  Badges will be available at the hamfest registration desk in the lobby of the RIT Inn & Conference Center.  The desk will be open all hamfest weekend beginning Thursday afternoon, May 29.  Only those with proper credentials issued by our staff are permitted in the building during closed hours.  Credentials must be obtained prior to your arrival at the fairgrounds site.

Plan to install your booth between 8 a.m. and 12:00 noon on Friday, May 30.  Booths may not be dismantled before 5:30 p.m., Saturday.

STAFFING
Booths must be staffed during all show open hours.

LABOR
Installation and dismantling of exhibits may be done by exhibitor.

SAFETY
All materials and installations must conform with federal, state and municipal safety and fire laws, ordinances and regulations.

SALES
Club groups may not sell merchandise.  Sales are permitted only by exhibitors who have purchased booth space.  Commercial exhibitors pay $175 for each booth.  If you club wishes to sell and pays the regular booth fee, sales are permitted.  Club memberships may be sold.

CONTESTS
Show management shall be informed in advance of games and prize drawings planned for in-booth operation.  Due to a complex set of state and local regulations, raffles are not permitted within the exhibit area.  If your group or club furnishes copies of permits to the show management prior to the show, then raffles may be permitted.

Booths may not be sublet without knowledge and consent of show management.
