Good Morning!

This letter and attached form is for the reservation of booth space in the various vendor areas at the American Dairy Goat Association 2011 National Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

You are receiving this letter because you are a sponsor, or a presenter, or you expressed an interest in becoming a vendor at the convention. All groups requiring booth space will be referred to as vendors and should fill out and return the attached form.

Set up will be on Saturday, October 15, 2011, beginning at 8:00 AM. Tear down and check out for booths is to be complete by 5:00 PM on Friday, October 21, 2011. Daily visiting/shopping time is 8:00 AM-5:00 PM, except for Wednesday when the vendor areas will be open until 7:00 PM, and on Friday when visiting/shopping will close at 2 PM for tear down. You are welcome to begin shutting down your booth as early as 12 noon on Friday, if you will require more than 3 hours to vacate your area.

The cost for Breed Clubs is $50.00 per booth space. Cost for sponsors/presenters is per your agreement with ADGA. Cost for all others is $100.00 for the first booth space, $50.00 for additional booth spaces. This cost is for the entire week.

ADGA definition of booth space is: " A table unit is best described as 60 sq. ft. of floor space (6'x10') with a standard 8' skirted table and two folding chairs. All users are expected to respect the floor space of adjacent areas and carefully store all items within their own area. Two small vendors may share one table. (In this specific instance, only one person should make the application.)" The hotel will provide skirting, and tablecloths. ADGA declined drapes between booths. There will be no additional charge for electricity requests.

To help with your planning, the ADGA committee expects to have between 400 and 500 attendees from across the country. If you are shipping materials, contact the Crowne Plaza Hotel Grand 1-800-718-8466, for instructions.

Regarding raffles: The convention committee has secured a state raffle license. All drawings and prizes must be conducted, awarded, and completed on Friday, October 21, between the hours of 8:00 am and 12:00 midnight in order to be legal.

Please complete the attached reservation form and return it to me. Send all monies directly to ADGA. Contact them for instructions.

Thank your for your support of the Grand Rapids, Michigan, ADGA 2011 National Convention.
