There are several ways you can promote the Guild and woodworking at the show.

- Staging will meet at Bain Center at 830AM sharp to load up and then head to the show.
- Setup is Friday from 1000AM-12PM, the show is open from 12-6, so the earlier we start the better.
- The show provides one electric outlet provided in the booth; we will need to bring a splitter, power strip bars, extension cords, etc.
- There will be three tables and six chairs provided by the Show Promoter. If more are needed, the Guild must bring them.
- Tear down is Sunday no sooner than 3PM.
- Show Access (IMPORTANT):
Guild members who are working their assigned shift get free show access for their assigned shift.- All others visitors with the member, and members visiting outside their shift, must pay for admission.
- Check The Woodworking Shows web site Buy Tickets page for details.
- All workers will need to check in at the Information Booth at the main entrance, prior to going to the booth. Be prepared to show your Guild membership badge if requested. Guild member names will be checked against the roster that the Guild Coordinator provides in advance.
- Spouses and family members will be required to purchase entry tickets.

- Show Your Work:
- Exhibition – two persons are needed to man the booth, grow new membership by promoting the Guild and our activities, and hand out Guild fliers or membership forms.
- Project Showcase: In addition to showing your items in our booth, there is also the Event “Project Showcase”. This is a judged event with prize recognition for best of class. Read more about it including judging divisions, categories and schedule HERE on the show promoter’s web site. Use the Project Showcase Submission form to register.
- Demonstration – Bowl and pen turning are very popular, as are other quick projects. Do you want to demonstrate bandsaw or scroll saw projects?
Also, a Presenter would be very useful to assist the demonstrator. This way while the Demonstrator is focused on turning, the Presenter can explain what is going on. - Booth Exhibits – It is important to show of the Guild and our broad interested through our finished craft. Look at all the ribbons owns at HoCo Fair in August.

or - Better yet to the show on Friday before 1PM.
- Pickup your items after the show on Sunday at 3PM.
