Early Bird Specials
Plan to get there as the door opens at 9am. The first 100 people in the door get two door prize slips. That means you get 2 chances to win the machine on the day you attend and 2 chances to win the big basket of goodies that we give away on Saturday at the end of the show. We give away door prizes every hour. You will have an extra chance to win those as well.
Early Bird Specials – Some booths will have early bird specials on selected items from 9am – 10am. We will post these specials at the entry.
Our Early Bird special is going to be a big box of clearance books and rulers. These will be priced to move…
