Setting up on Saturday....Please note

 
Please note the following: You MAY NOT set up where the red outline is on this Diagram. The red was marked out by the Civic Center and the Fire Marshall.
 
Please put ALL TRASH in trash cans, clean up after yourselves. The members and friends of the First State Rabbit & Cavy Breeders Club and the Delmarva Rabbit & Cavy Breeders Association have worked really hard on locking in our venue. Not to mention all of the sweat and tears that have gone on to putting on this show.
 
The Cavy Show will be held on the Stage. Please bring a table for yourself. There will be few chairs available, so if you need one bring one.
 
Tables will not be provided for this event to put carriers on.
 
Food is available at the show site. Not sure about breakfast foods.
 
There are other events going on at this location.
 
I will try my best to post table numbers with starting breeds by Friday Night...you may need to check early Saturday morning, lol.
