Organizations can begin setting up as early as 8 AM. All booths must be fully set up and ready by 11:30 AM. A volunteer for Jettie Rhodes Day will be available in the morning to assist you in locating your designated booth space.

  • We will provide your organization with a complimentary 12ft x 12ft booth space. Please remember to bring your own tables, chairs, tents, and any other display materials you require. Consider bringing signage, banners, brochures, or other promotional materials to effectively showcase your organization or business. Ensure that your booth setup is safe and does not block walkways or neighboring booths. Unfortunately, electrical power will not be provided onsite. If your setup requires electricity, please plan accordingly by bringing battery-powered or alternative power sources.
  • We kindly request that all organizations remain present for the entire event to fully participate in this community gathering. If you have any questions, please contact us as soon as possible.
  • Please be mindful not to occupy another organization's designated space for your booth. If you inadvertently set up in the wrong location, we may request that you relocate your booth.
  • Throughout the event, volunteers will be available to assist you with any inquiries or issues. They will also periodically visit your booth to check on your needs.​

​What to Expect during the event: 
  • During the event, we encourage you to enjoy the complimentary food offerings available. However, we kindly request that booth participants refrain from leaving their booths unattended for extended periods to ensure continuous engagement with event attendees.
  • As the event takes place outdoors, please plan accordingly for sun exposure. We recommend bringing sunscreen, hats, and other protective clothing to shield yourself from the sun's rays.
