THE HIGHLIGHTS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- It would be helpful for you to confirm when you'll be able to volunteer and/or if you will be providing display tank(s). The more info we have, the better we can all coordinate. Please post in this thread.
- Park via GATE 17
- Setup Fri afternoon is HIGHLY recommended. SCAPE Booth will be ready to start setup around 1pm. I plan to be there until about 7pm but you can continue setup until 9pm. I will have areas indicated where things can go so you can drop stuff off even if I'm not physically there.
- Setup Sat morning starts at 6am but needs to be 100% DONE by 9am. That means DONE and CLEANED UP. Do not be the person still filling tanks or hooking up equipment at 9am. I will likely get there around 8am Sat.
- If you sell at our booth, you are expected to make a donation to the club. This is being done on an honor system with no specific details/requirements. If you do well, we hope you will help cover booth costs. We/SCAPE paid full price for the booth space.
- You will need wrist bands to enter the show. Again, these are not free to the club, we PAY for these. By default, contact me (text is best) at 213-247-3365 and I will meet you at the gate/entrance area. Be patient. I am doing a lot of running around and it may take me 15min to get back outside. I may recruit the help of someone else to run back and forth. If you're willing/interested in doing this, please let me know.
- There should be power available in our booth. I would recommend you bring extension cords and power strips if you will need power. Don't rely on others.
- DO NOT start breaking down the booth area until the show is over at 5pm on Sunday. If you're selling stuff, please consolidate/clean your area throughout the weekend.
- There is a fundraiser auction Sat evening for USARK. If you're available, this is a very fun event that helps a great cause. More info below.

I have a 16S and 2 16T's for the table. Everyone bring extension cords and power strips. None will be provided and power is based out of 4 outlets in a sub base under the floor.
