NEW FOR 2011:  As the tables supplied for our use at Shopko Hall get old and worn out and therefore retired, the facility management is replacing them with new tables.  A few things to note about this:
    1.  Newer wood tables are 24" wide, not 30"; PMI is building these in-house and they are likely 24" wide so they can get two out of a sheet of plywood.  Theoretically there are enough of the 30" tables remaining to supply our vendors at this time; 24" tables will be used first for the layouts.  Eventually, however, there may not be enough 30" tables to go around.
    2.  New plastic tables ARE 30" wide, similar in appearance to the kind of table many of you have purchased (at Sam's, for example).  However, PMI's experience with these is that they are not as strong as the wood tables and will deform or collapse under any significant weight (like a book seller, for example).  Therefore they are limiting our use of these as well.  In any event, please LABEL YOUR PERSONAL TABLES so they don't get mixed up with PMI's during their inventory process.
    3.  Please note we have no control over what tables are available, as we do not own them ourselves.  We will make every effort to make sure 24" tables go to non-critical spots at the show, and we are actively working with facility management to resolve the issue before it becomes critical.  WE ARE AWARE of many vendors' (and some layouts) apprehension over this table issue, so we appreciate your patience as we do our best to accommodate your needs.

One other thing related to #2 above:  If you are using electricity (layouts included), please make sure you're using ONE plug (one socket... not both parts of an ordinary duplex receptacle).  Again, the facility is charging us PER PLUG, not per receptacle (we know it's silly).  IF YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE OUTLET, please let us know.  You should be able to attach a power strip to the single socket and get what you need.

Standard Information

For layouts, please note that we cannot possibly accommodate all layouts that apply; our venue size just simply isn't large enough and vendor tables are what pays for the space.
That doesn't mean to discourage you from applying!  We simply must operate on a first-come, first-serve basis (by scale), which means get your applications back to us as soon as possible after we mail them to you.  It not only is very democratic, it levels the playing field and also usually "mixes things up" so there is a new mix of layouts every year.

A recent update to the application policy is that any layout turned down for a show is automatically guaranteed a spot at the next show.  Since we usually have to turn away three or four HO layouts, this assures a fresh rotation.  A completed application is still required.  Hopefully this addresses the concerns of clubs that have felt slighted by our previous policy or were affected by the uneven services of the USPS.

For Vendors, the more tables we sell, the more likely it is we will expand our available floor space, including the "Resch Connector" (which we cannot guarantee in any case).  Note that table prices go up $10 after January 31st, 2011, so if you know you are coming, it is in your best interest to apply early. 

We did have a few issues in 2008 with new vendors misunderstanding what they were getting.  A "regular" table is just that:  a 30" x 96" table, set up so there is at least 42" of useable space behind it; it is NOT a 10'x10' space. 
For that, you would need to request a "Prime" spot, which is a 10x10 space in the front of the hall that includes a skirted table and surrounding "pipe and drape" (like a professional trade show).  You will see the difference in pricing on the application.

Also, please remember that while we try our hardest to accommodate location and arrangement requests (e.g. "just like last year please!"), we cannot guarantee anything due to the changing nature of the participants.  If anything is a "deal breaker", please let us know.

If you have any questions, give us a call or drop us an email.  Thank you!
