Dear Vendor,

Castle Enterprises is holding this year's annual spring Bird Fest in Pottstown PA on Saturday May 10, 2003. We are exitcted to once again bring it to you from the Sunnybrook Ballroom and Convention Center. We would like to invite you to participate in the year's first event in this very popular location.

The Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown is nestled between Reading and King of Prussia. Sunnybrook is easily accessible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Route 100, Route 23, Route 202 and Route 422. This gigantic ballroom (over 20,000 square foot) has proven to be ideal for a exhibition hall. The hall is of course air conditioned and the proporty has plenty of parking. Four entrances are at your disposal for setup. Sunnybrook Ballroom as with all our events, will be conveniently and spaciously arranged providing ample area for the large walk-thru crowd expected.

The event features are a "Just for Fun" Pet Bird Show (held between 1:00PM and 4:00PM). The competition is not for the seasoned parrot exhibitor but truly for the pet enthusiast. In addition, Educator/Entertainer H. Brian Wilson and his Parrot Buddies, adorn Sunnybrook's stage for three shows throughout the day (tentatively scheduled for 10:00AM, 11:30AM, 1:30PM). Brian will educate children and adults in fire, gun and vehicular safety with the help of his feathered friends.

If you would like to participate in this years Bird Fest, don't wait, reserve your vendor space today. We anticipate a full house… You too will want to be part of this successful Castle Enterprises Event!

	Respectfully,
	Henry & Lori Castle

Vendor Space Details

Vendor Space is 10 foot by 10 foot and includes one 8 foot table and two chairs. Extra tables and electricity are available at no charge (you must note your request on your Vendor Application). Table covers will not be provided, you must bring your own.

Vendors will be held accountable for any damages to Sunnkbrook's property. Do not permit bird droppings to accumulate directly onto tabletops or the floor. Cleanup accidents and any excessive debris... Again, table covers will not be provided so make sure you bring a cover for your table and floor if necessary (if using tray-less floor stands).

We pride ourselves on the quality of our events. And stress as professional aviculturists we all must set an example of the proper care and housing of pet birds. Therefore, vendors selling birds must display them in a clean suitably sized environment with food and water! Birds on exhibit and for sale should be displayed only in what would be considered appropriate housing for birds. Note: Cardboard boxes with wire fronts, dog/cat type carriers are unsuitable containers for display and clean doesn't just mean fresh newspaper on cage bottoms. Any cages, baby containers, etc., on display exhibiting birds, must be free of feces build-up.

Also, in the best interest of the health and welfare of baby birds and to promote responsible avian practices, "ABSOLUTELY No un-weaned baby birds can be sold and / or delivered during the show"! Violators of these rules will not be tolerated and will be required to promptly pack and depart the show. All vendors are requested and encouraged to report violators to us immediately. Note: Un-weaned babies can be displayed at the show and deposits accepted for a future sale and delivery.

Setup / Teardown Information

Vendor Set-up begins Saturday morning at 5:00AM. Friday evening early setup may be arranged but will not be confirmed until one month prior to the event.
