Exhibitors must either sell or manufacturer hunting, trapping or fishing related products OR provide a service related to hunting, trapping or fishing. This is a strict policy. The attendees we are targeting are coming for those products and/or services and we aim to give them as many of those vendors as we can. The only exception to this requirement is if we approach you for your goods or services ourselves. We reserve the right to cancel your booth reservation and refund your payment if you do not fall within our targeted parameters. So please, if you feel your category of goods/services is questionable please email us before purchasing your booth.
