There are several SUNDAY ONLY dealers inside who do NOT set up on Saturday, PLUS the outside dealers only set up on Sunday morning, so there's plenty of fresh merch to choose from for Sunday's Early Bird buyers!
Saturday Oct. 14 is for dealers only. Sorry, no public early bird admission on Saturday. You must have a dealer contract.
There are always plenty of outside spaces available (weather permitting). Most years the day is nice enough, and we have several outside dealers. Even if it's cold, there are always a few hardy souls who set up out there. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for sunshine this year.
This is a wonderful location for us, and is much larger and newer than our old locations. In past years we have always sold out of dealer tables, and had a waiting list for cancellations.
- 8' Dealer tables are $40.00 each.
- This new location will allow us to arrange the show layout as will best accommodate the number of tables needed.
- Tables will still be assigned on a first-paid basis.
- If you can't make the show, call Fred by Oct. 1st to cancel and to receive a full refund of your payment. (Refunds may not be mailed out until after the show date.)
- If your contract/payment is received after the tables are sold out, we will contact you. Don't worry, your payment will be cancelled / refunded / returned.
- The best selection of hotels are at I-75 exit #159 / Rt 224
- You can easily get to and from the hotels area and the bottle show. It's just a 10-15 minute drive. (Follow the same directions as above.)
- There are many restaurants near the I-75 hotel area.
