The format for the show is as follows:
9:00 am-10:30 am: Display plant registration and setup
All registrants must fill out a plant registration form at the table outside the display room. If you want to save time, forms are posted here., and you can print and fill them out before you arrive. Once plants have been registered at the front desk, volunteers will be available in the display room to help with the placement of the plants and direct exhibitors to where their entries should be placed, for example where all the Nepenthes plants are staged and where all the CP planters go. Individuals who are not displaying plants will not be allowed to enter the display area prior to 12 noon. Registrants who are displaying plants are to set up their displays and then immediately leave the display area to avoid unnecessary congestion and disturbance to other participants.

9:00 am-Noon: Vendor registration and setup
Vendors must check in at the registration table where their name will be checked off from a master list. Anyone wishing to sell plants should register in advance by emailing me. Include your name and name of your business, if applicable, telephone number, and the amount of table space required in feet. This is necessary to assure that we have reserved space available for you. Vendors who have not registered in advance will have to wait until all pre-registered vendors have arrived and set up. The space will then be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, but there is by no means a guarantee that there will be space available. Please email Doris Quick at doris_q@pacbell.net to reserve your space.

10:30 am-Noon: Judging of plants will occur

There will be an auction and a raffle table. Plants and other related CP items are needed for both tables. If you have only a few plants to sell, try the auction table or co-op with another vendor.
