Greetings Festival Exhibitors!
We're just about a week away from the Festival - time for
some more details! We will need to see you around 9:30-10:00am
to get you all set-up for the Street Fair, with kickoff around
11:00am. Lunch and drinks are provided. The Street Fair
location will be the same as at last year's ASU Festival,
outside on the walkway next to the Gammage auditorium,
so please remember your hats and sunscreen! Also, if you have
requested power for your exhibit, please bring a 50ft. extension
cord along with a power strip (if you need to plug in more than
one electrical device!) with you so that we can be sure that all
of our exhibitors can reach the power outlets.

When you arrive on Saturday, (map and driving directions below) if
you have heavy materials you will need to drop-off before parking,
please proceed directly to the drop-off location located in front of the
Gammage Auditorium (drop-off location instructions below).
There will be volunteers and balloons to mark the drop-off
area. We will have volunteers available to help you unload
your materials on to carts and transport them to your
booth while you check-in and park your vehicle in the Gammage
Parking lot. If you do not have materials to drop-off,
please proceed directly to the Gammage Parking Lot
(can use entrance marked Reserved Parking Lot #3) to
park your vehicle. After you have parked, come back to the
Street Fair area and check in at the
"Exhibitor's Registration Table" (there will be
volunteers, signs and balloons to
help you find your way). One of our crew
members will be there to greet you, provide you with your
IDs and set-up information, the location of your booth, and
can answer any lingering questions you might have.
If you have any last minute questions/concerns, please feel
free to send me an email. I will not be attending the
Festival, so if you have any questions or problems while at the
Festival please ask for Becky Decker or Kasey Walsh
and they will be able to assist you. If you have not completed
and emailed me the ASU exhibitor form (attached for your
convenience) please do so right away. Again, many many
thanks for your participation. It will be an exciting and very fun day!
Don't hesitate to drop me a note if you have any questions or suggestions.
Have fun and enjoy the Festival!
Best wishes,
Tracy
