By special

accommodate your schedule, and pick up from the grounds and deliver back to you
at the times you request. They are very
reputable and have clean, sanitized pens with inside/outside runs. The cost is $10.00 per night and $5.00 pick
up and delivery. Please call
517-623-0093 for more information.

NEW THIS YEAR! We can rent
you a skirted table and two chairs for $35.00. We DO
NOT supply extension cords or stepladders.
You will not
be able to set up or tear down your booth through side entrances. You may drive up or walk in at the east or
west end entrances to set up your booth on Saturday and Sunday. HOURS
FOR SET UP ARE SATURDAY 8:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M., SUNDAY 8:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. Vehicles will not be allowed on the Midway on
Monday, the opening day of the Fair, unless prior arrangements have been made
with Fair Management.
A sign WILL NOT be made for your indoor booth unless you request it at
the top of your contract. Also, please
indicate if you want season passes or 1-day passes for your booth workers at
the top of your contract. WE DO NOT HONOR LISTS AT THE ENTRY GATES,
EVERYONE MUST HAVE A PASS TO ENTER.
Tear down of
your booth may begin on Saturday
night at 10:00 pm. You will not
be able to drive in and load from the side or west end entrances. Animals are also being released at 10:00
pm. The commercial buildings are locked
at midnight
on Saturday, the last day of Fair and will not reopen until 8 a.m. Sunday
morning for tear down. Early removal
will result in forfeiting your opportunity to return in future years. The carnival tears down as soon as the Fair
closes and with all their semis converging on the Midway, we have found that it
is safer to restrict access for the vendors.
