This year's jurying was especially tough
because of the many new and interesting entries. You

excited to have you as part of this growing show.
UPDATED INFO

Because of demand, the show has been expanded on Friday morning to
open at 10am. Therefore, we encourage your set-up to take
place 12noon to 6pm. All vehicles must be off the festival
ground by 6pm when the police will lock the gates. They will
also close the gates for vehicles at 8am on Friday morning.
- Lodging:
This year we will have expanded hotel choices. Complete online
booking. The Howard Johnson Express is the hotel at the edge
of the festival. Some liked the convenience, others enjoyed
hotels elsewhere as well.
