Providers are required to stay for the duration of the Provider Fair, as well as manning your table for the duration of the Provider Fair. Bring plenty of resources for your table such as promotional items, candy, games, brochures, and or flyers about your organization and programs.
• There will be other agencies as well as walk-ins attending looking for resources. Providers who are not able to stay for the duration must inform us before the Provider Fair.

• The table seating will go in alphabetical order by organization name.
• All Providers will be on one level.
• All unloading of materials will be at the front entrance of the Avalon.
• For the safety of all participants please keep limited resources on your table so that they may be easily accessible while avoiding the need to be touched more than once.
