    *** Attention all Hobbyists ***

    There is no membership/sponsorship requirement for selling at GIRS Fall Fest next month. This event is open to anyone that wants to sell! We want this event to be primarily for the hobbyist. The only thing you have to pay for is the table space itself.

    Donations for giveaway items are welcome, but not required (and we're not going to pester you for one either, at least not more than once)

    We are keeping space open for additional hobbyists before allowing more commercial vendors, so let us know ASAP if you want to sell!

    We will have Door Prizes / giveaways!

    Table fees (6' tables) are $25 and available for Vendors and Hobbyists!

    If you are interested in a table, please post in this thread or send a PM to @Bud or use the Contact Form

    Hobbyists are welcome to combine together and put 2 tanks on one table and split the fee but that is not required. Depending on how many vendors sign up, we may ask a few hobbyists to split a table.

    Night-before setup will be available to coral vendors

    Fest location: 1820 SE Miehe Dr, Suite A. That’s the one on the corner, the only glass door in the building.

    Parking in the lot space (anywhere is fine) as well as along the curb, and on the adjacent streets (one side only)

    From 80/35, take 141 toward Grimes. Turn right on SE 19th St (near the Kum & Go), turn left on SE Miehe Dr (by the mini storage). The building will be on your left across from the DOT.
