Frequency Asked Questions
1. I am a vender. Will I have to pay the parking fee each day as I come to the show?
No. Venders and exhibitors will be given parking passes when they register. These passes are good for all three days. They will also be given passes for entering the Expo Hall.
2. Once I unload my equipment will I have to pay for parking my trailer in the parking lot?
No. Unloaded trailers are to be parked at the east end of the parking lot and there is no charge for them for the three days.
3. Can I bring my equipment in early, like on Wednesday?
You can bring it in on Wednesday but it will not be allowed inside the Coliseum until Thursday. It can be parked on the parking lot, which is under camera surveillance. There is no charge for parking the trailer early.
4. I have been told that the Coliseum has more restrictions
on vehicles that are on display. Is it true?
The Coliseum does not have any more restrictions than those of any other facility. The State Fire Marshall has established the guidelines for vehicles on display inside of buildings. These are the same as we have had each year at our shows. Gas tanks have to be sealed, and battery cables discoonnected. Under no circumstances will propane, butane, or LP gases be permitted in the facility.
5. Will I be able to bring my lunches or any food in with me while I display my equipment?
No! The Coliseum strictly prohibits the carrying in of food and beverage items. All food and drink services must be provided by either the Coliseum's authorized Concessionaire or their Pre-Qualified Caterer.
6. I will be bringing several heavy items to sell. If a customer purchases one of these items, how will I be able to move it out of the Coliseum?
The Coliseum Provides a fork lift for our use. The only restriction is you will have to wait until after the show has closed for the day to move it out. We will have certified operators avvailable to move the equipment once the public has vacated the show.
7. I will need electrical power to run my display. Will there be locations where I can have the power I need?
Yes! There is power available through out the entire Expo area. These utilities are spaced 30 feet apart and will provide verious voltages. Also there are water/drain connections, compressed air, and natural gas. Each of these utilities have a service charge. You will need to pre-register for these services to avoid additional charges on set-up day.
