Swag Bags

We will be giving swag bags to the first 100 people (ages 10+) in line for the show, courtesy of our wonderfully generous vendors and sponsors! One swag bag will be given to each person starting at 9:45am that has waited fairly in line. Please do not hold a spot for anyone else and be courteous to others. We reserve the right to refuse entry and swag bags to anyone that is not being respectful.
