Be An Exhibitor.

It seems we need to define the word Exhibitor. An Exhibitor is someone who is putting a collection on display and is not a commercial vendor. An Exhibitor is not allowed any commercial activity. Anyone who wants to sell as a vendor should contact Kathyrn Davis at (805) 647-3096 or kathrynsgems@yahoo.com.

Step 1. If you're interested in exhibiting at our 2012 show go print the 2012 VGMS Exhibitor's Application. (Close the new window to return here.) Please note: It's a DOC file and you'll need Microsoft Word or compatible program to open it. After you fill out the application and get it in the mail you can continue checking out our show.

Step 2. If you already followed Step 1 skip Step 2. If you didn't follow Step 1 continue reading. If you're not sure about Exhibiting, call the Exhibit Chair whose vitals are listed below. Tell him why you're calling and let him talk you into it. Then go back to Step 1.
