Meetup FAQs

What are the benefits of attending?

For starters, it’s fun! You get to socialize and schmooze with your vendor friends and meet new friendors. You’ll meet the Participating Vendors, the owners of the Sponsoring Venue, and the Sponsors and add them to your referral network. Networking is the best way to get word-of-mouth referrals, and we all know how important those are. Other benefits: yummy food, drinks, door prizes, live music and fun!

Registration will be inside a heated tent directly across from the barn. Registration will be separated into three lines divided by last name A-E, F-M and N-Z.

Yes! The coat racks are in the bar area.
