  • If you were not a vendor with us in 2018, you must submit a clear descriptive photo of your stand/display and a complete list of products.
  • Since our event is held on the airport field our insurance company considers the event to be an air show.

Send this with your payment or as soon thereafter as possible. Contact your insurance agent for this information.
