Non-Business Members are, of course, eligible to participate as vendors, but Members receive an extra discount on booth pricing as a "thank you" for their support of KDB. Become a KDB Business Member today to take advantage of discounted booth pricing!
  • Indoor vendors are limited to a double booth size, unless special arrangements are made with KDB.
  • Electricity, corner & high visibility booths, and tables & chairs are considered "extras" and an additional charge will be added onto to the base booth fee.
