Travelling in to Strathmore and need a place to stay?

After some phone calls and googling efforts, we recommend that you check out Expedia or other like services to book a room. We have found that Expedia gives a better deal than any room rate offered by a Hotel.

We have also had great success and recommend airbnb.

Strathmore also has  camping grounds close venue.  Campground link

Display Fixture Rentals

While many exhibitors do already have their own display furniture, some do not.  With this being an outdoor event, we will not have immediate access to a display rental company.

It will be your responsibility to provide your own tables and chair for this event.

Electricity and Internet

No electricity 

Food and Beverage Sampling

Yes!  you have a bit of paper work to get done.  Please click on the following links and follow the directions supplied:

• AHS Food Vendor Package - PLEASE READ!  You will find everything you need in this package.

Hand Washing Stations

AHS (edm.specialevents@albertahealthservices.ca) would be able to let you know exactly which type of sink is required, they take into consideration the food being sampled, food preparation, etc. It comes down to a case by case assessment depending on risk levels, once the AHS vendor form is submitted exhibitors are able to discuss questions and requirements directly with the AHS representative.

Below is a link for temporary sink requirements and hand washing stations, which I believe would be more economical for exhibitors.

Email

When it comes to emails, our best advice to you is to keep it short and sweet.  Here's some tips to think about while your drafting it up:

• keep it short and sweet - the more information you have, the more complicated it becomes.
• Remember the purpose of your message and stay the course.
• For the purpose of getting out your invitation to attend, try to hold yourself back from adding in any other information.  The idea here is to have them attend.  If you add in a scroll worthy newsletter, your invite may get lost in the fray.

Example:
Hi friend - insert friend's name here

I'm excited to let you know that I'm going to be a Vendor at The Vegreville Medieval Faire & Artisan Market!   

There's going to be real live jousting, re-enactments, magician and storyteller and an artisan marketplace.  That's where you'll find me!  

We'll be at the Vegreville Rodeo Grounds July 16-17 and I hope you can make it down.  

See you soon!

Best regards,

YOU!

Social Media:

Over the years, we have found facebook to be a great source of traffic for our events and it is our primary social media platform.  

We ask that you participate in liking, commenting and sharing posts.  The goal here is to get people clicking the interested or attending link on the event page.  It's our direct route to their scrolling efforts and they will see our posts and consequently have more interest in attending the Marketplace.

The following link will take you to our event page wherein you will find posts for our vendors.

If you do not find a post about your company, it will be for any of the following reasons:

• we post one a day and in order of booth registration;
• we begin posting 4-6 months prior to show dates;
• we have yet to receive your booth deposit.
