Exhibitor Information
We believe in our motto: "A Happy Dealer Is One That Makes Money!" We go out of our way to create an environment that allows buyers and sellers to get together without any burdensome restrictions or red tape encountered at other events. We have no rules about 'no selling or buying before public hours'. Dealers come here to make a profit and meet customers, We don't get in the way. Click here to contact us for an application.

Dealer Space
- Outdoor Space - Most outdoor spaces are @30 feet wide with varying depths. You provide your own tent or canopy in these areas- its your option to cover yourself, your goods, or neither. (View Picture)
- Covered Outdoor Space (pavilion style) - These are in buildings under a solid roof w/ open-air sides. They are equipped to be closed with tarps in case of inclement weather. It's always a good idea to bring some plastic covers in case of blowing rains or an occasional roof rain drip. Most of these spaces are @ 12'w x 20'd. (View Picture)
- Indoor - These spaces are inside walled buildings. Sizes are variable, (none small) mainly determined by the dimensions of the structure itself. A few buildings are lockable. Again, bring some coverings for your items for security and protection when you are away from your booth. Electricity is available in most booth areas. (View Picture)

Cost
One price for All Spaces. A Dealer's booth in any of the above spaces normally costs $85 each. Renewing again within our liberal 30 day limit qualifies for a discount. Last minute sign-ups (within a few days of events) are $95. When renting multiple spaces, extra spaces are only $65.
'Referrals of a New Dealer' (one who has never been here before), can earn exhibitors $15 applied as a credit to their next show reservation.
We do not allow sharing of booths with other dealers or friends. (You must provide proof of a "joint partnership or dual ownership"). Our rates are a fraction of other shows' fees. (Anyone, who cannot afford our low rates is most likely in the wrong business.)
Every exhibitor must provide us a current copy of their NYS Sales tax certificate for our files. (call 1 800 225-5829 for information if you don't have one yet)
Spaces can be purchased at the gate during set-up times, but you may not have many options of where you will be sited. Early reservations are suggested.
Facilities
There are acres of space, water sources, and camping facilities! The fairground provides Table rentals (no chairs) for exhibitors and Motor Home campsite hookups at reasonable fees. Camping without service hookups is available also. Showers and real bathrooms here too. Call 518-692-2464 speak directly to the Fairground Office, for camping info.
