In addition to the 15-20 food, beer & wine stations, there will be 30-40 Exhibitor Booth spaces for local businesses to display/market their products and services during this event. This will be a great opportunity to have your business information on display as attendees walk up and down every aisle to find the next food or beverage station.

WARNING: In an effort to not have too many businesses of similar type at the event, only three exhibitors per business category will be allowed. Only one exhibitor per specific company. Therefore, book your space early so you don't get edged out by one of your competitors.

Example 1: We may have three P&C insurance companies represented like one State Farm booth, one Nationwide booth and one Allstate booth but we will not have two of the same (two Allstate) and we will close the category out after three are registered.

Example 2: We would only have one Legal Shield booth, one Mary Kay booth, one Avon booth, etc.
