REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Discounted buyer registration of $25.00 is available to all qualified buyers who pre-register prior to April 1, 2010.

Upon arriving at the show, the $25.00 will be given back to the pre-registered store in the form of a discount certificate that may be used with selected Spirit Show exhibitors. (Certificates will be given only to those stores physically in attendance and they cannot be given to individuals acting on behalf of another storeowner.) Registrations received between April 1, 2010 and May 1, 2010 will remain at $25.00 but will not earn a certificate. On May 1, 2010, registration will be $40.00 per store.

After May 15th, buyers may register at the door during posted show hours with proper business credentials and a $40.00 per store fee.

This non-refundable registration fee does not include the discount certificates. Each store is entitled to one show tote bag per registration. Additional tote bags may be purchased based on availability at the show.

Registration payments may be made through a company check, Visa, or MasterCard. Sorry, no personal checks. For our buyers' protection as well as the exhibitors', those not in attendance in 2008 will be asked to submit two pieces of business identification with the appropriate forms. A photocopy of a resale tax certificate as well as another form of business identification must be sent with the registration form. Incomplete registration requirements will be returned.

CHILDREN

Children are allowed on the show floor provided they are well supervised and with an adult at all times. We do ask that strollers be carefully guided and not allowed to block aisles or entry to booths.

Exhibitors, buyers and guests are prohibited from soliciting business from other vendors or stores during show hours or entering into conversations with fellow attendees that may cause buyers to avoid certain booths.
