PLEASE TAKE NOTE ALL EXHIBITORS, VENDORS, SWAPPERS, DISPLAYERS MUST REGISTER AT THE REGISTRATION TENT AND SIGN A WAIVER. THIS APPLIES TO ANYONE SETTING UP ANYTHING IN THE FIELD - BE IT TO SELL OR SHOW.
Everyone will be required to have an arm band this year Available AT REGISTRATION IN THE A_1 TENT. Otherwise you may be escorted to the gate to pay again if you don't have an arm band on. We Sincerely Appologize for sounding harsh, but our insurance carrier requiries that we do this and we don't want to lose our event because folks don't follow the required protocol. Thank-you.
Please Register at the A-1 Tent. The tent will be the source for Shirts and Jackets, a place to ask about seat recovering, and see all the Pictures from 10 years worth of A-1 Events - a trip down memory lane.
Just a friendly reminder that we always need more volunteers to help with the event. Please contact Dianna if you can help! 1-(989)-845-7906 Please note that volunteers get priority parking!!!!
As with every year A-1 will be holding a large bon fire on the grounds.
In the past we have allowed fires at the campsites however we can no longer allow this to occur. The reasoning behind this is that at last years event the volunteers had to spend a lot of extra time cleaning up the grounds areas of excess garbage, unburnt lumber, ect... To prevent this, there will only be the one centralized bon fire.
No Bon Fires, Charcoal Grills, or open fires of any sort are allowed at the individual camp sites.
The one exception to this rule is that you are allowed to have GAS burning grills to cook with.
