new product, design or technique in this pre-
show event!
Make It! Take It! Sell It! Provides exhibitors an opportunity to display their product and, if they choose to,
provide a hands-on demonstration of their new products, designs or finishing techniques to the buyers before
the sales floor opens. Exhibitors should plan for their demonstration to be 5-20 minutes in length. If exhibitors
choose to, they may collect a fee for kit materials. To maximize the impact of demonstration, a demonstration
description should be submitted (including your kit material fee if one). This is important so buyers can plan
their time and what demonstrations they want to attend at this event.
A Make It! Take It! Sell It! could be:
Showing your new products in this Meet & Greet environment
A demonstration of stitches used in a new design
How to use a new stitching accessory or tool
A unique finish for one of your new designs
How to effectively use a new thread, charm or button
A demonstration of a traditional stitching technique revisited
This event will be fast paced and exciting, so plan your demonstration accordingly. Keep the kit costs to an
even amount for simplicity ($5, $10 are easiest), and make sure you have everything needed for the
demonstration handy. If all goes well, you’ll have opportunity to demonstrate 8 times during the event. And, if it
is a hit, you will be selling additional kits during the show!

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Emergencies and disasters are unpredictable and can strike without warning. Pre-planning and preparing for
effective emergency action will benefit everyone involved in our show. Failure of advance emergency
preparation may result in injury or death to personnel, loss or damage of facilities, property and equipment.
Everyone should make an effort to do their part in any given emergency situation. The following are only
suggestions:
ACCIDENT
1. Do not move the injured or ill person. Try to make them comfortable.
2. Notify the Registration Desk/TNNA Staff at once.
3. Immediately following the situation, give a full report to Show Management.
FIRE - HOTEL
1. Once you have checked into your hotel, take time to become familiar with your surroundings. Check
your room for any type of fire hazard such as unsafe electrical fixtures, etc. Check your floor for the
location of fire exits, fire hoses and fire extinguishers. Keep in mind, your purpose is to be prepared,
helping to eliminate panic.
2. If a fire alarm is sounded, before you leave your room, feel the room door. If it is hot, stay in your room.
Place wet towels under and around your door to keep smoke from entering your room.
3. If you smell smoke in your room, get down on your hands and knees. The air there will be cooler and
safer to breathe. Use a wet towel or other cloth material and place it over your nose and mouth. It will
help filter out some of the smoke and carbon monoxide.
4. Never jump from your window. You have a better chance to survive the fire and smoke than you do the
fall.
5. If a heavy amount of smoke gets into your room, try to open the window and lie down on the balcony
ledge. If you cannot open the window or lift it out, then break the glass. NOTE: Breaking the glass
should be the last resort.
6. If your room door is not hot, open it slightly and check the area for smoke. Evacuate the building by the
closest fire exit. IMPORTANT: Any time you leave your room, make sure you take your room key and
close the door behind you. There is the possibility you may be forced to return to your room.
7. To evacuate the building, always use the fire stairways. Never use the elevators. Once you have
evacuated the building, never go back inside until the Fire Department confirms that it is safe.

SHOW RULES, REGULATIONS & CONDITIONS
1. ELIGIBILITY: Show Management reserves the right to determine eligibility of any applicant for inclusion in
the Show after evaluation of the applicant’s account with the show.
2. SPACE RENTAL CHARGE: Included in the space rental charge are: all services and equipment as stated
in the space package, promotional advertising, standard listing in the official show directory (if received by
deadline date), and a post-show registration listing.
3. PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS: All applications for space must be accompanied by appropriate payment to

cancel his/her space due to reasonable circumstances, as determined by Management, a partial refund may
be made.
4. SUBLETTING OF SPACE: Exhibitors will display only merchandise regularly sold by company whose firm
name is on contract. Exhibitors are prohibited from assigning, sharing, subletting a space or any part of the
space to anyone else unless agreed upon with show management.
5. CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT: In the event of cancellation or interruption of the show due to fire,
strikes, government regulations, act of God, or any other cause beyond control, the Management shall
determine an equitable basis for the refund of such portion of Entrance, Publicity, Directory, and Exhibit Fee as
is possible after consideration of expenditures and commitments already made. If for any reason the location of
the show is changed, no refund will be made, but Management must be able to assign exhibitor space in lieu of
original space.
6. LIABILITY: All property of the exhibitor is to remain under the control of the exhibitor, subject to the rules

person and property of others. This and also liability insurance should be discussed with your own insurance
broker.
Exhibitors should use prudence in the care of their samples while in the show and not leave their merchandise
unattended during show hours and, during move out, keep all merchandise within their space area and
consolidate their display as much as possible to ensure, in the confused nature of move out time, that
merchandise is not misplaced.
In the event that litigation is brought arising out of or in any way resulting from this Agreement or the subject
matter of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the undersigned exhibitor shall pay all of Offinger
Management Company/The National NeedleArts Association’s costs and fees, including reasonable attorney’s
fees, incurred in such litigation upon the entry by the court in which litigation takes place of a final judgment in
favor of Offinger Management Company/The National NeedleArts Association.

9. INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLING OF EXHIBITS: Delivery of freight, installation of exhibits and
completion of erection of exhibits will take place on Friday, September 7, 2012. Should an exhibit not be set
by 9:00 am of the first show day, TNNA reserves the right to remove unopened freight at the expense of the
exhibitor. Dismantling may not begin until the close of the exposition on the final show day. Failure to comply
with this request will result in the loss of the point allowed for this show and/or a fine of $300.
Repetition of such an offense will carry additional penalties and may result in the exclusion of participation in
future TNNA managed shows. Goods and materials used in any display shall not be removed from the hotel
until the exposition has officially been closed. Any exception to this rule must have the written approval of
TNNA. Show areas must be completely dismantled by Monday, September 10, 2012.
10. Gadgets, Gimmicks, Demonstrations and Sound: Exhibitors are asked to observe the "good neighbor"
policy at all times. Exhibits should be conducted in a manner not to be objectionable or offensive to
neighboring suites. The use of photographers, musicians, entertainers, sound system equipment and noise-
making devices are restricted to within the exhibitor's suite. Horns, odors, or congestion in exhibitors' suites are
not permitted. When sampling, demonstrations and/or entertaining the attendees, suites must be arranged so
that attendees coming into the exhibit do not block entrances into neighboring suites. TNNA reserves the right
to determine if a demonstration interferes with adjacent exhibit spaces, and if necessary, order its
discontinuation. Exhibitors may take photos or videos of their display, however, are not permitted to directly
take pictures of any other display, or instruct others to take such pictures, without written permission by TNNA
and the exhibitor whose display is being photographed. Giveaways, raffles, donations or other promotions are
allowed.
