The vendor/crafter gate is open from 7 am to 9 am. No cars will be allowed in the public walk areas after 9:30, so be sure to get there in time to unload and move your vehicle before then.

If you have large items like trailers, vehicles, or heavy equipment, we can arrange to drop them off on Friday. Please remember that we are not a locked facility, so make sure it is nothing that could be easily stolen or someone could walk off with, as there is no overnight security.

We highly recommend you be prepared for any type of weather as this is a rain-or-shine event, so pop-up tents, tables, chairs, umbrellas, banners, product displays, racks, etc., are allowed as long as they all fit within your dedicated booth space.

If you need any blank or custom-branded items (pop-up tents, tablecloths, banners, displays, giveaways, etc.), contact Hope & Teal Designs LLC, our preferred promotional and creative partner, and they will be happy to give you the "MOE Discount" on any items for the event. Contact Cameron at  517-512-3627 or  hello@hopeandteal.com,  and mention MOE for our special discount!

After you unload your vehicle into your vendor space, you can park in the vendor parking area not too far away. If, for any reason, you may have to leave during the show, then park outside the event in the general admission parking area. Gates lock at 9 a.m. and don't open until 4 p.m. We cannot allow traffic to drive through the crowd during the event.

Grills are allowed only for our insured food vendors. Grills are too dangerous for kids, and we want to avoid stepping on the toes of our food vendors who pay for their spaces and require this type of equipment.

After 4 p.m. the event ends. No need to be in a hurry because we need to get foot traffic out before driving vehicles in the walkways. Tearing down the booth early will result in the suspension of future events.

Absolutely; please look us up on  Facebook and use our event page to invite whoever you want. This works great for reminding them shortly before the event as well. If you have good event pics, please feel free to share them on Facebook and tag us or email them to us. Please note by sending us photos you took during the event, you are giving us permission to use them in future marketing efforts as we see fit. Email your images to info@masonoutdoorexpo.com

  No, all moving vehicles, including golf carts, must carry one million dollars in liability insurance and listed with our carrier along with all vehicle information, and for a one-day event, this causes more complexity than needed. There are minimal areas you can even drive a golf cart (grass area only) because of the amount of foot traffic. We offer a nonstop shuttle with four pick-up and drop-off locations in the event. The shuttle makes it easy to get around and usually makes it to each stop every 15-20 minutes.

  Some prominent vendors and sponsors get promotional tickets for the show. These tickets need to be distributed before the event. The tickets are for promoting the event before the day of and are not to be handed out in our parking lot to potential paying customers.

  Bringing and using a generator will depend on its placement location; contact us to make arrangements and determine if your generator will be acceptable. The generator must be quiet.
