Please be patient during setup. There is all day to do it. 

If it’s jammed up, go sit in one of the restaurants and come back when it lightens up. Please remember that we are in a neighborhood so please be respectful and keep the noise down, especially early in the morning and later in the evening. Thank you!

LOAD IN TIMES: 

Due to sizes of some of the streets, 

we will need to alter some of the load in times 

The odd numbers can still come in at 7AM and out by 9:15AM 

If you’re done earlier or can get your vehicle out earlier, please do so
 

 Even number booths will begin coming in at 9:30 

BUT we will need to stage them into some of areas due to narrow streets.
 

9:30 AM 

Booths 3-16 and Booths 172 -186 will line up at their respective sides of Valentia at 49th Place. We will then try to get the vehicles that are present into the area in numerical order. You will exit onto Northfield.
 

10:00 AM

Booths 18-30 and Booth 158-170 will line up at their respective sides of Valentia at 49th Place. We will then try to get the vehicles that are present into the area in numerical order. You will exit onto Northfield.
 

BOOTHS 41-97 AND 110-148
AIM TO GET ALL EVEN BOOTHS IN STARTING AT 9:30.
 

Remember, you can dolly in at any time no matter what your booth number is, and after 12 noon you can come in anytime there is room.
 

Big Rigs or Large Trailers 

We will see if we can get you in. 

Otherwise, you may have to park on the side streets and load in. 

If you aren’t sure, please call before driving into the show – 303.349.3078
 

YOU CAN ALSO PARK ON SIDE STREETS AND DOLLY IN AT ANY TIME. 


PLUS:

AS LONG AS YOU CHECK IN BEFORE 6PM

 YOU CAN SET UP IN THE EVENING UNTIL 10PM 

Aim to finish earlier,  and no later than 8pm since it's pretty dark after that. You could also set up just your tent and panels, etc. and then come back in the morning to load your artwork.
 

Again, we have all day to do this. Being patient and working with each other will go a long way in keeping it somewhat sane.


*
 

TEAR DOWN


I don’t like a lot of rules with tear down since I believe most of you do this enough times throughout the year to know what to do. 


That said:

If the weather is dry throughout the weekend, 

tear down as much of your booth and artwork before pulling in. 

The show ends early at 5PM so we have 5 hours before we have to be done. Again, wheeling out may make sense for some of you. 

Remember, you will enter and exit the same as during setup.
