EXHIBITING/BOOTH SPACE SET-UP RULES & REGULATIONS

Americas Family Pet Expo November 3 & 4, 2012 Puyallup Fair & Events Center Puyallup, WA

It is very important that all exhibitors understand the rules and regulations. Some of the rules have been implemented by the fire marshal for the safety of all, some by the board that governs the facility and some are widely accepted show rules that make exhibiting as fair as possible for all exhibitors. The AFPE staff will be on hand during set up to answer questions and will be roaming the show floor to spot any exhibitor that may be setting up their exhibit booth outside the guidelines and advise on how they might change their set-up to comply.

PLEASE READ AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING RULES AND REGULATIONS:
AFPE has established a Tall Wall section for exhibitors whose booth set-up does not conform to regular booth set up

regulations. If your exhibit will not conform, make sure you notify Mike Guerber so that he can place you within the Tall Wall section of the show floor.
The sale or negotiation for sale (taking of deposits, raffle, or delivery) of any livestock at AMERICAS FAMILY PET EXPO is

strictly prohibited on the grounds, in the parking lot, or any adjacent areas during the inclusive dates of the show, unless pre-authorized by Show Management. Exhibitors found violating this rule are subject to removal from the show without refund or credit of monies paid.
No element of any exhibit booth, including lighting fixtures, signage, banners, structure, etc. may exceed 8 in height.

(Except for Sponsors and tall wall exhibitors booths) See diagrams provided on booth diagram page.
Exhibits must remain in the confines of each exhibitors space. No displays, tables, chairs, demonstrations, etc. may extend

into the aisles or outside confines of exhibitor space. Any costumed characters must stay within the booth.
Balloons may frighten the animals and pose a danger to animals and children. As per your exhibit contract they are

prohibited.
Exhibits must be arranged as to not obstruct the view of adjoining exhibits and all exposed areas should be finished in a

neat and professional manner or draped. Draping may be rented from the Show Decorator.
All flammable and decorative materials must be flame proofed. Sound levels of any audio systems, microphones, speakers, etc. must be used responsibly. The volume may not be such

that it hampers your neighbors ability to conduct business in their booth.
