The exhibit and exchange area will be opened at 0900 hours and closed about 1600 hours, with one hour 1200-1300 closed for lunch.

Two connecting rooms in the Museum (B4 & B5) will be made available.  They cover a total area of over 2,000 square feet.

 These rooms are used for Engineering Drafting classes.  The drafting tables will be used to display the models.  Each table is approximately 3.5 ft wide, 2.5 ft deep and 40 inches high (3.3ft).  It is projected that the two rooms can be arranged to hold approximately 50 tables for the exhibit, providing over 250 square feet of display area. The table height will provide closer eye level viewing.  Using these tables also means that we do not have to obtain outside tables. 

The tables are heavy and steady.  Because of the work involved, as experienced last year, Arrangements will be made to use the School custodians to position the tables.  A fee of $6.00 per table will be charged to exhibitors to cover expenses in setting up the area.

 Tables will be assigned on a first come first served after full payment of for requested number of tables.
