Members can rent a full booth for $185 or a half booth for $100. One Booth contains three 7-foot tables with a canopy overhead. Choosing "Half a Booth" gives you 1 & 1/2 tables.

Past items include BedMart sleep masks, magnets, Consolidated Auto Sales pens, great Coupons, Arizona flags, and business fliers.
Cost to you for us to stuff the bags and hand them out: $35.00. Deadline is October 24th.

Everyone can come out on Saturday November 1st & have a wonderful time.
Mark your calendar today and bring your friends. Tell your employees and invite your customers and vendors!
Members who are considering renting a booth:
- Restaurants/Food vendors must offer free samples, and are also welcome to sell pre-packaged food at your booth.
- For example, last year Fairytale Brownies had bite-sized samples to give away as well as gift packs of brownies for sale. All other vendors are welcome to sell items, but we encourage positive interaction with patrons.
- Another example, Kidstop Toystore had games out for the kids to play, and also games for sale. Samurai Comics had face painting for kids, and also comic books for sale.
