NEW THIS YEAR: The Sneak Preview is new this year. It will be a free 2 hour preview for Teachers from the Teachers’ Convention and some State Employees. Exhibitors are encouraged to sell their work at the preview. We understand that some of you may not be completely set up, and that some may not set up until the following morning. We are not charging the exhibitors or the customers for this preview. We do ask, for security purposes, that if you are already set up, have someone there for the 2-hour preview to sit your booth and sell your work.
