Registration: Early registration is encouraged. Registered fine art and craft exhibitors will be located in Percefull Fieldhouse, 709 Oklahoma Blvd. Upon arrival, check-in at the registration desk just inside the southeast entrance to find out where you have been assigned. The registration desk will be open Friday starting at 10 a.m. Opening ceremonies on Saturday begin at 8:30 a.m., so be ready for sales at that time. Nescatunga committee members will be on-site Saturday morning at around 6:30 a.m. It is possible that because of the chances of rain, vendors scheduled to be inside the Health and Sports Science Education small gym may not be able to set up their booths until Friday afternoon. We are sharing the venue with another group who may need the space for indoor practice. We'll be notifying everyone who is scheduled to be inside that small gym so you can plan accordingly.
Parking: Close on-site parking is available for registration and unloading only. Please move vehicles to a further away parking area during the festival to allow patrons spaces to park. Assistance is available to set up upon request. Parking in the main Wellness Center lot is unavailable when the facility is open. After unloading, you may park behind the facility, on the south side of the intramural field, or in other parking lots around campus.
Food: Hospitality area for exhibitors will be available. A Concession area will be available on the north end of the building on Saturday, and Food Trucks will be outside on the south side of the building all three days. Our “gourmet food booth” of special baked items will be available on Saturday until sold out. Anyone who would like to donate goodies for this table should contact Nicki Chaffee at (580) 430-5450. Everyone including Sugar Show competitors are encouraged to provide goodies along with business cards so people know who made the item.
Festival Photography: We'll be taking photos and videos at the festival of the vendors as well as those browsing the booths, so you may be in them. Your attendance grants your permission to be included in these images, which we may use for promotional purposes on the web or in print.
