Please register early. The hotel registration link will available in July to those who have registered to vend before July. The hotel will sell out quickly. The hotel does not offer any parking discounts.

We have limited space. No food or snack vendors will be allowed. Contact us before you register to let us know what you want to vend. That will keep us from having too many vendors selling the same merchandise. However, if we end up with duplicate MLM companies, we will take the first one who registered.
