SETUP:
Setup will begin Friday May 1st from 8 AM- 2 PM The show starts at 2 PM, please be completely setup 10 minutes prior to the event starting. I am working with the Ag Expo on possible additional set up times. If you believe you will need additional time please state so on the last section of the application.
TEAR DOWN TIMES:
Vendors can begin packing up immediately after the show. Please do not leave early unless there is an emergency. Early departure disrupts the event and its future success. Vendors that leave early may not be considered as a vendor in future shows. In the event of an emergency please let the event coordinator know.
TEAR DOWN TIMES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Saturday: 3-6 PM. If you think you will need additional time please state so on the last section of the application.
DETAILS:
We hope to provide a great home show for McKenzie County, with a variety of home related vendors. We are looking for any and all things home (contractors, flooring companies, etc). There will be a food vendor set up in concessions as well. Vendor space is located inside the Ag Expo Arena building, vendor preferences will be assigned by the earliest received application.
*Like vendors may be limited.
There will be a mixer Friday Night at the Ag Expo, immediately following the event from 7-8:30 PM with light appetizers served, and there will be a bar set up as well. We will share more details on food, etc as we get closer to the event.
VENDOR SPACE:
Each booth space is 10x10, Price is $150 for the first space and is reduced the more space you book. Vendors must be in attendance throughout the vendor show. If you plaan to not be at the show the whole time please sign up for the lounge/sponsor space.
-There will be one 6 foot long table provided per booth and 2 folding chairs. For instance if you get 2 spaces you will have 2 tables and 2 chairs in your space. If you need additional tables or chairs you are welcome to bring your own. Additional tables and chairs will be available for an additional charge of $5 per table and $1 per chair. If you do not need the allotted tables please state so on the application. Most booths will be piped and draped, as the Ag Expo maay not have enough to accomodate all booths.
-Vendors are in charge of their own space and merchandise (setup, tear-down, clean-up, and disposal of trash before departure.) The Event Coordinators are not responsible for any property theft or damage, nor injuries that may occur in connection with your presence at this event.
SPONSORED SPACES: Limited Space
We are looking for 4-5 businesses to sponsor seating spaces throughout the arena to encourage guests to mingle a bit longer. These spaces may or may not be adjacent to your space. The cost is $150 and it gives you the opportunity to advertise. These spaces do not have to be manned but they do have to provide seating. This is a great option for anyone that does not have the man power to attend the booth but would like to have the opportunity to advertise. Please set your space up as an accomodating are for attendees to sit and stay awhile. All while seeing your business name. This space is an opportunity to advertise. The requirements are just to provide seating for a minimum of 5 people or more. Examples would be: a living room space, a movie theatre type area with TV and popcorn, a backyard bbq scene with lawn chairs. The goal is to make it look different then an exhibitor booth.
DEMONSTRATIONS:
We are hoping to add in interactive events during the show This could be done at your booth or we would have an area with a time set up for demonstrations with scheduled times. For instance at 11 AM Saturday we would have a woodworking class, 1 PM a product demonstration, 3 PM a gardening class. We could advertise this at the door and throughout the day with live announcements. If you are interested in doing something please fill the section out on the application. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Checks, Venmo, paypal, and credit cards (with a 3.5% fee) will be accepted for vendor payment. Vendor space will not be held without both payment and application.

ADVERTISING:
Advertising plans include but are not limited to: facebook ads, print ads and distribution of flyers throughout town, street signs, and online placement on local websites. There will door prizes advertised both before and during the event. Guests will sign up for prizes upon entry. Prizes will be drawn throughout each day and announced as they are drawn. I will do my best to make sure this event is well publicized.
An easy way to help with advertising is to mark going on the Facebook Event this helps with the Facebook algorithm.
We are striving to get as many vendors that will fill the space to make this a great event. If you know of anyone who may be interested in a space please forward this information on.
