Dear Exhibitors:
The Fergus Lions Club is pleased to invite you to the 46th Annual Fergus Lions Home and Leisure Show. Last years Exhibitor participation in the show was 172 booths and has helped the Club provide a prominent level of support for our Lions community projects in Fergus and Centre Wellington, to which we say, “Thank you!”
Some changes this year are our rates, with a slight increase. Our Complex and fixture fees continue to rise every year, and our last booth increase was in 2023.
Our NEW brochure was a remarkable success and will be continued this year giving exhibitors a quality book for the visitors to take home and pursue at their leisure as well as providing them with an ongoing reference guide to our show participants. The floor plan and other relevant information for the 2025 show can be found at www.ferguslionsclub.org.
The curtain colours are white/black, accented with red carpet. Accessories including table skirting, carpets, etc. are available from Hahn Rentals at info@hahnrentals.com. We remind all exhibitors that curtains are the property of Hahn Rentals. The exhibitors are accountable for any damage including tearing or puncturing of the curtains and will be charged to repair any damage. Sign hanging hooks are available at our show office.
To maintain the open concept of our show, exhibitors may not interrupt the sight lines on the five feet on the front of their booth, without the expressed consent of their neighbour and the Home Show organizer.
We will be advertising the Home & Leisure Show throughout Wellington County by means of The Wellington Advertiser, Fergus Lions Website, and our Lions Facebook page. The Wellington Advertiser will run a special section in the issue the week prior to the Show. Advertising rates are on the application form with copy deadline required by March 25th.
Please see attached map for exhibitor parking also. This will help our visitors to the show find a place to park in front of the complex.
Again, this year we will have Food Trucks and a feature for the kids. When the kids come the adults follow.
For further information, contact committee members listed on the application form.
