We are SUPER EXCITED about this year’s event at the Rolla
Middle School. Our Marketplace theme is lime green, red & whimsical!
The location of the middle school for your GPS is:
1111 Soest Road
Rolla, MO 65401
Here’s what you need to know:
Setup Times:
- Friday — 6:30pm to about 8pm (~ish)… students will be there decorating the
building for the event so we may even be there past 8pm.
- Saturday — 6:30am; event opens 9am and closes at 3pm
What you need:
Vendors must provide their own tables, chairs, electrical cords, etc. Once
your vehicle is unloaded, we are requesting vendors to please move their cars to
the gravel lot east of the building, near the track field.
What we provide:
Free Wi-Fi, coffee & electricity is available to all vendors. Electrical
outlets are just throughout the building, so if you need electric, please pack
an extension cord. If you requested electricity specifically, we try our best to
put you right at an outlet, however, sometimes that just isn’t possible, and we
have to run an extension cord to reach the outlet.
Students will be on-hand during setup, event, and teardown. They are here to
assist you! There are a LOT of you coming to this show (I’m proud to say) and
we may not have one student for every vendor at all times, but we should have
several students available to assist.
You will receive a VENDOR PACKET that will include lunch menu order forms.
You can fill that out at any time and give it with your payment to the students
assigned to your area. They will go to our concession stand and fill your order
and deliver to your booth. Students can also watch your booth if you need to
take a quick restroom break.
We will start promoting our vendors on the Facebook page and letting it post
about every hour or two. It is hoped that everyone will share the page and the
event with their friends/family/etc. If not, please do so if you have
Facebook.
About The Event:
We have free pictures with Santa scheduled.
There will be a raffle booth with the items that have been donated by the
vendors. All the proceeds from the raffle go directly in our SkillsUSA account
to help those students offset their competition and travel fees.
We have a free gift-wrapping booth. Students and faculty will be wrapping gifts that people have
purchased at the marketplace. Donations will be accepted, but certainly not
required.
QUESTIONS:
If you have any questions between now and then, please call the RTI Office
(573) 458-0150. You may also contact us through email or message us through
Facebook (which is quickest because we have that app on our phones!).
