Dear Exhibitor: The HOME, LAWN & GARDEN EXPO will return to
the Decatur Civic Center on March 14, 15 & 16, 2008. This year
will be our 27th anniversary and we are making plans for a huge BLOW
OUT!
The Home, Lawn & Garden Expo provides the homeowners of Central
Illinois many opportunities to "meet the experts" in everything to
make their home, lawn, or garden complete. This event is a great way
to promote your business to thousands of your potential customers in
just three days! In the past, we surveyed last year's vendors and 90% of the
responses stated that new business was generated from the Expo.
This year's show hours will be as follows:
Friday, March 14
5:00-8:30PM
Saturday, March 15
10:00AM-6:00PM
Sunday, March 16
11:00AM-3:30PM
Enclosed are two copies of the contract. Rental
for this three day event is $285.00 for the first 10'x10' booth space,
additional booth spaces will be $250.00 each. To
assure your booth space in the Expo, please return one completed copy
of the contract by October 22nd, 2007. Keep one copy of the
contract for your file. There are two places on the contract
that you will need to sign. Exhibitors will be placed on the
floor plan as received; location assigned upon availability.
This show is on a first come, first served basis.
Since last year's show maximized available space
and sold out early, your prompt response will be appreciated.
The Civic Center wishes to accommodate returning exhibitors by
offering you the opportunity to book your space by October 22nd, 2007.
After this date we will be encouraging new vendors to become involved.
Our goal is to have each show be even more successful
than the last. In an effort to provide more variety and
excitement for our patrons, the Civic Center reserves the right to
limit same industry/product vendors.
We are also very excited to be able to offer the
following special
Enhance your Marketing Efforts: Meet Your Prospects
At the Door!
Qualified Home Lawn and Garden Vendors may purchase
additional outdoor "On the Lawn" spaces at the rate of $12.50 per
10x10 space, or they could make the biggest impression by booking
space on the front door concrete pad at just $15.00 per 10x10 space.
Overflow "On the Lawn" space for Vendors on the waiting list is
$100 per 10x10 space and will only be made available when the show
sells out and there is no booth space available indoors.
As an added bonus, we urge exhibitors to join our
staff for a pre-show reception n their honor on Friday, March 14 from
3:00PM- 6:00PM in the Decatur Civic Center Meeting Room. We will
be celebrating another great show and all of our wonderful exhibitors!

look forward to the 2008 Home, Lawn & Garden Expo and hope to see you
