PLACEHOLDER ARTICLE: Note that Tina put this here as a template. This article has not yet been updated to reflect a kit that will be shipped to the Event prior to the convention for the Event Lead. Updated article will include: Shipment Packing instructions, so that Event Lead will know exactly where to find anything.Return Shipping or Storage Instructions, so that Event Lead will have what they need to either return the kit or return it to it's storage location. Tina's Note to Self: Can I just ship the kit directly from con to con to con while avoiding storage? Suggestion: Pack items in order for them to be removed from vehicle for easier load out. I.e. Stock first, since it's needed last! Packing List: Note: Items are listed in order of setup for a streamlined build. Recommend that you load items into the car in reverse order so that item's can be put directly into their designated spots as you unload. (For example, load Canopy last so that it is the first item to arrive at the booth, and the first item setup) Core Display Pieces: Canopy Set this up before anything else Hang lanterns on it before raising it up. Please use a ladder for safety. If you are unable to setup the canopy on your own, ask a stranger! Vendors are a tight knit group and will usually be happy to help you with small tasks.
