Things you should know!

1. Please read the Fleamarket Rules carefully, they will answer a lot of questions.
2. I realize that we ran way behind schedule last year, for a number of reasons. My apologies.

Please do not submit multiple orders via different formats (fax, snail, internet) for your spaces. Hamvention® will acknowledge receipt of your order. Because your order has to pass through several hands, please allow ten days or so for this to happen. Thanks!
3. In general, we first honor returning vendors' requests for the same spaces as in prior years. We then assign new vendors on a first come, first serve basis to the remaining spaces. While we have that data in our data base, it would still be helpful to record your last year's space numbers on your 2007 application.
4. The deadline for ordering to retain prior year spaces, is February 15th, 2007
(note change from earlier information)
5. The Fleamarket layout has changed. Two aisle ways have been added to the east side of the fleamarket. Spaces making up the aisles will not be sold. All persons holding spaces in these rows in the past will generally be moved three to six spaces farther east, maintaining the same neighbors as before. There will of course be some exceptions and the Fleamarket committee will try to work these moves out. No space numbers have been changed. See the list of spaces included in the new aisles.

Persons whose 2006 space is a newly-created end cap will have first opportunity to purchase the end cap at the new corner-space price. If you do not want the corner space, we will attempt to place you in the same or similar area.
6. There are two Fleamarket Courtesy Parking areas, one at each end of the Fleamarket area. A Fleamarket Courtesy Vehicle Pass will be issued to each vendor. If you need more than one, contact me in the F/M office.

The east Courtesy Lot is shared with ADA parking. IN PAST YEARS, there has been some confusion as to a fee being asked for by the guards in the east lot. NO FEE IS NECESSARY to use a courtesy pass. If you are asked to pay please come to the Fleamarket Office for assistance.

7. If you have a tent or awning of some type, that exceeds 200 square feet, you must have a tent permit and an inspection before the fleamarket opens on Friday. Please use the tent request provided in this packet or copied from the web site.
8. The Fleamarket office is located in the small building at the Northeast corner of the F/M area, outside the fence. It is across from Fleamarket Gate B. The office will be open starting at 8 AM Thursday, May 17th, until 10 PM. On show days it will open at 6 AM, and close at show closing time each day.
If you have any questions or problems, please come to the Fleamarket office, and we will do our best to help you.

10. While we think the on-line system was much improved for 2006, we also are aware that there are several more improvements needed to make it more usable. We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you had problems using the shopping cart so that we can focus on improving your experience. Please e-mail your comments to fleamarket@HAMVENTION.org , Subject Line: F/M On-Line.
11. Because many of you asked: The Dayton HAMVENTION® is sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association. We fully intend to keep the show in Dayton, Ohio at HARA Arena. In fact, we have signed a multi-year contract with the arena. If we were to decide to move, remember that it is in our best interest to make sure that you know about it as soon as possible.

Welcome to the 2007 Dayton HAMVENTION®!
Have a great weekend!
