Fishing Tackle Sale Move In Information
March 21stFriday Evening Move In Option – Have Your Table Setup
(Evening Setup Time TBD, but approximately 9:45 pm on Friday night after tables are set. Watch the space for details on moving in Friday evening and an email will also be sent.)
ALL Vendors Pick up Vendor Wristbands Friday Night or Saturday morning admission to the sales hall will only be allowed to those who are wearing their wrist bands.
Each table is given one wrist band and can purchase additional wrist bands for $5. Helpers and move-in assistants must have a wristband for the event – no exceptions. We had a few people crash the event last year and want all on the floor to have this wristband for entrance. This will assure everyone has passed through and not snuck in. We saw you sneak in – no wrist band, you will be sent to the front immediately this year. No exceptions. Note we did not increase the table costs this year like other sales. The $5 addition is per table so if you have two tables- you will receive two wrist band passes.
EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT MOVE IN -NEW
March 21st – you have the opportunity to move in at night. Approximately 9:45 pm. We will be moving in vendors who which to set up the night before and beat the lines. Once event tables are arranged – we will be getting vendors wrist bands and also getting their items onto the floor. You are welcome to stage your items next to the doors at 9:45 pm as we set up the event layout. Move in will be from approximately 9:45 pm and will close at 11 pm that night. You can meet us in the front or back doors – alley to drop off your items. We have carts inside the door to load your items. You may also move in on Saturday morning.
March 22nd 6:30 am. – Loading Dock Doors Open (East Side of Moose Lodge for Loading)
Stop at front of hall (Harlem) to pick up or purchase for any additional wristbands (helpers need to have wrist bands on to enter hall).
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS – Fishing Tackle Sale
Loading will be from back alley only this year.
While Harlem Drop-Off and move-in is available – we prefer you use the alley to the East. ONCE YOU LOAD – you need to hit a side street as there will be no vendors parking in our small parking lot. The parking lot will be reserved for attendees only. Use 36th street off of Harlem and then take the first right hand turn into alley. You can stage your items inside the door and we will have “holder signs” so you can park your car and get items to table. Recommend you have tubs with lids for ease of movement. Bring rods or large items in with you.
NO VENDOR PARKING IN THE LOT.
This is a small lot and if you want to encourage people to come into the sale, we need to reserve the lot for walk-in traffic. We need your help with that. Any vendor in the lot will be asked to move so please observe this rule and do not park within 1 block of the Moose Lodge entrance. Leave the front of the street open for parking and event signs to attract more walk-in traffic. Violators may not be asked back next year – we appreciate your assistance in improving the walk-in traffic.
Doors Open at 8 am – no exceptions. Wristband only for admittance.
Doors Close at 12 noon – loading doors will not open sooner – no early tear-downs. If you begin unloading your table early – you may lose it for next year.
Fill out this form and indicate if you had a table in 2023 and if you are a member or non-member. Priority given to club members and previous vendors.
Payment received and confirmation with table number will mean you are reserved. Only when you hear from Johnny or Jeff G. (RFC treasurer) and payment is made, is your space truly reserved.
