Vendor Information

Load-in will be from 8:00-10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. By 10:00 a.m. we would like to have everyone loaded into the hall, which gives you all at least a full hour to put the finishing touches on your booths before doors open at 11:00 a.m.

* You will only be able to load in via the side entrance on Saturday morning, and may have to wait for an available spot to pull up. *

1) Look for the big check-in flag and please come check in as soon as you arrive! This is where we’ll get to meet you, point you in the direction of your booth spot, collect any remaining swag if you are a perishable food vendor, and hand off all your vendor goodies. You will meet one of the 3 of us (or one of our fantastic staff) at check-in. Our team is small and if you want to know who is who, be sure to either visit the About link in our Instagram highlights, OR see our home page for who is who.

2) Quickly unload ALL of your gear in your designated booth space.

3) Before you begin setting up, you’ll go re-park your car, then return to set up your booth. This part is crucial so that we don’t end up with bottlenecks in the loading zone. We will be hiring parking attendants to keep an eye on things. It’s unfortunate to have to ask this, but PLEASE be respectful to the UCU staff. Everyone from us three to our volunteers work their butts off and deserve to be treated like humans. We have to keep a lot of people safe and we want our shows to be good vibes only. If you are rude or disrespectful to any of us, we will add you to the list of who we no longer want to work with. Again, this is VERY unfortunate to have to say, and we feel the same way when we see signs in so many establishments reminding people to be nice, but this is only coming up from some unfortunate past experiences. If we can all work together, this experience should be great for ALL of us.
