"World Class Facility"and "Famous Shrine Hospitality" are big reasons for success. But best of all for our vendors, is the heavy advertising and publicity promotions that bring in the big crowds. National trade journals along with area newspaper, TV, Radio and Billboards are used to promote these events as "A Bargain Hunter's Paradise!" and drawing crowds of more than 70,000 to each event.

Over 200 Shriner volunteers offer many services, including Parking Attendants, Traffic Control Teams, Clean up teams, Free Delivery Service! .... using utility vehicles to haul heavy items from your vendor spaces to the buyers vehicles 24 hour security "First Class First Aid Station".... and more!
