Showers will be available

Vendors will be available each day until dinner time. Specific spaces have been assigned to vendors. “Vendor Row” is located along the tree-lined on the west side of the field.
NOTE: each vendor will make a 10 to 15 minute presentation on their Astrofest Specials and astronomy- related products of interest to astrofesters.

A “Swap Line” is located along the Vendor Row. Astrofest participants with astronomy-related items to sell or trade may set up tables, etc., along the Swap Line. Do not set up tables in spaces reserved for vendors—even if the space is vacant.
