Organizations may begin setting up as early as 9:00 AM. All booths must be fully set up and ready by 11:45 AM.

Beginning at 9:30 AM, Jettie Rhodes Day volunteers will be available to help you locate your assigned booth space. In addition, two Urbana Park District volunteers will operate golf carts beginning at 9:00 AM to assist in transporting equipment to your booth. Golf cart assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis.


  • 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.​
  • Please note that our event is family-friendly, and we expect all booth participants to ensure that their content and appearance are appropriate for all ages. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the wholesome atmosphere of our community event. Thank you for your understanding and support in making this event enjoyable for everyone.
