INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
Here are the details:
- Booth
space for Friday, July 17, 2009 is $26.25 ($25.00 + $1.25 GST)
for the Friday night preview. In order to create an intimate event
for visitors, exhibitors who participate in Friday night and Saturday
will be given booth space in one of the buildings in the park.
If you request a space in the park and are not participating in
Friday night, the space may not be available. Exhibitors who participate
in Friday and Saturday will not be moved.
- Booth
space for Saturday, July 18, 2009 is $52.50 ($50.00 + $2.50 GST).
Space is limited, so booking early is a good idea.
- Booth
space is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. There are
no guarantees you will get the specific location you want, so
book early to avoid disappointment.
- Booth
sizes are 12'x6' for food and 10'x6' for wineries and others.
The Buckhorn Community Centre provides one table and one tablecloth
as needed, plus two chairs, two clear wineglasses and a ticket
receptacle. Wineglasses must be returned at the end of the show
or left in your booth.
- Visitors
purchase sampling tokens for products. Exhibitors retain 70% of
the sampling token income generated at their booth. The Buckhorn
Community Centre gets the other 30%. Any merchandise that is sold
in your booth -- promotional items, food products -- is also subject
to the 30% commission. We run this on the 'honour system' and
ask that you provide us with a cheque before you leave the show.
- Sampling
tokens are collected throughout the day at the booth and taken
at regular intervals by Fiesta Buckhorn volunteers for counting.
These tokens are not to be used by exhibitors for their own purposes.
Exhibitors will receive their payout via cheque sent out within
two weeks of the events closing.
- Booths
must be set up by 4:00 pm on Friday, July 17 and 11:30 am on Saturday,
July 18. Exhibitors arriving after that time will not be allowed
to bring their vehicles onto the grounds.
- If
you are unable to attend the event in person but would like to
exhibit, please contact Vicki Kent, the show director at questions@fiestabuckhorn.com
to discuss arrangements for volunteer wine pourers. Product must
be shipped to the Buckhorn Community Centre by the exhibitor and
received no later than Friday, July 17 at 12 noon.
- The
Buckhorn Community Centre will provide each exhibitor with a maximum
of two (2) bags of ice on Friday night and six (6) bags of ice
on Saturday. Additional bags of ice, to a maximum of 10, are available
for $2 each. There are ice stations throughout the park and each
exhibitor is required to pick up their own ice. Each Exhibitor
is responsible for bringing their own cooler or refrigeration.
- Power
is available at all booths. The Exhibitor is responsible for providing
extension cords or other electric devices required.
- Exhibitors
must provide enough product (wine or food) for the entire length
of the show. Exhibitors will not be allowed to leave before the

7:30 p.m. A $50 fine will be deducted from payout for those exhibitors
who close their booth prior to the end of the show on Friday at
9 p.m. and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
- Exhibitors
are encouraged to bring either a booth display or materials to
decorate their booth such as hangable signage, posters, etc. Plywood
walls are provided and exhibitors may attach decorates to the

nails or staples from the walls when they leave. A fee will be
