   Electricity is not available at this expo. We close well before dark. Quiet Generators are allowed, such as the Honda EU 2000 or Harbor Freight Predator brand equivalent and similar equipment. Special Note #1: If you plan to use a small quiet generator, you cannot have it at your booth or near your booth and other booths surrounding you due to gas fume problems with your neighbors. Be prepared to bring at least 150 feet of extension cord. If you have to run your extension cord across a public walk-way, it will be your responsibility to bury the cord under the topsoil ground as to not pose a trip hazard (if your booth is in an interior island, you will have to cross public walk-ways).

Everyone must have their own pop up canopy tent. There is no color requirement. Your tent should look professional and in good working order. It must be sturdy enough to hold at least 35lbs of weight on each leg of the tent. Typical backyard, tailgating tents are not sturdy enough and often buckle and collapse with significant weight applied to them or any wind. Important, Specific to This Venue Location: There is a strict NO STAKING of tents anywhere on the property. You CANNOT STAKE your tent to the ground. Our tent weight requirement info below is very important.

*VERY IMPORTANT* All tents MUST be weighted down after set up to withstand 40 MPH gusts, no exceptions. Tying to your neighbors’ tent to secure yours is not allowed. 1 Gal milk or water jugs are not allowed. An unsecured (No weights) tent is a potential liability if it flies away and hits an event goer or another exhibitor /vendor. You must have sufficient weight on each tent leg to withstand 40 MPH gusts. You must you have at least 35lbs of weigh on each leg of the tent. We will be checking every single tent on Saturday morning to ensure all are secure with a weighting system. If yours is un-secure you will be asked to lower your tent until you can secure it with weights, please comply and thank you for adhering to this important tent safety matter. NO REFUNDS will be given for unsecured tents that are told to break down. We are saying all this from experience, it’s not fun watching a tent roll through a crowd of people! Remember, you are responsible for what your tent does at an event, i.e. injuring people or property. Latitude-88, Inc. assumes no responsibility for your tent causing injury or harm due to your negligence of not securing your tent in the manner discussed above.
