Black Sheep Gathering — 2008
Trade Show

2008 Trade Show Floor Plans will be posted when available.

Promote and Sell Your Products and Animals

The Black Sheep Gathering is an excellent place for vendors to promote and sell their fiber and fiber-animal related products. Our attendance has been increasing every year. This is a very active and popular event attended by fiber fanatics from all over the country. The trade show will be held in the buildings as in previous years to maximize the space allocated for vendors. The floor plans in the buildings promote excellent traffic flow through the booths.
Full booths are 10' x 10'. Half-sized booths are 10' wide x 5' deep. Please note that the boundaries of the half size booths will be strictly enforced. Be sure you can fit your display into this space if you rent one of these. All booths include one table with tablecloth and one chair. Most booths have electricity available at no extra charge.
Full booth rental is $150; half booths are $90.

NEW POLICY: THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE BOOTH RENTAL IS
DUE WITH THE APPLICATION.

Extra tables can be rented for $10 and chairs for $2. Booths are assigned: first to returning vendors, second by postmark date (see following paragraph) of application/payment and last by drawing. The BSG Committee reserves the right to accept or reject booth applications based on correlation of the booth content and purpose to the Black Sheep Gathering mission statement. (See bottom of page 14.) Booth applications are mailed out in February and booth assignments will be made and notices mailed by March 30th. Each vendor is limited to two booths. More than one vendor may share a booth. No exceptions will be made.
Applications with postmark dates from March 1, 2008 through March 15, 2008 only will be considered. Postmarks prior to March 1, 2007 are assumed to be postmarked on March 1 to give all new vendors an equal chance to get their application in. Applications postmarked after March 15 will not be accepted
Raw wool and mohair cannot be sold in Trade Show booths, only at the Wool Show and Sale. Alpaca, angora, llama and other fibers are allowed.

Please leave your pets at home.
No dogs are allowed at the Gathering; this rule will be strictly enforced.
