We ask that after you have unloaded your vehicle you move it away from the first two rows of parking located near the back of Shopko Hall and the Brown County Arena to allow others to move in more easily. As a courtesy, a limited number of carts are available during published move-in and move-out hours to help vendors move equipment to and from booths and vehicles. Transportation and handling are solely the responsibility of the vendor. Vendors should pack all materials in a way that allows unloading, transportation to and from the booth and reloading using their own resources. Please unload all items from the cart and return it to the back of Shopko Hall or the Brown County Arena before setting up your booth. Vendor Entrances Vendor entrances during event hours are located on the north end of each building. Shopko Hall vendors may enter through door 7. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these entrances during move-in. No vendor entry will be allowed through the front lobby of either building during move in. No exceptions will be made and vendors will be asked to walk around the building to the proper entrances.

Four (4) vendor wristbands will be provided for a 10 x 10 booth. Two (2) wristbands will be provided for each additional 10 x 10 space. You may pick up your vendor wristbands at check-in during move-in hours. Vendor wristbands will not be mailed prior to the event. Event Parking Parking during the event is free.
