Parking rules:

Happily, there is abundant parking both for the public and for vendors. There is
an area immediately below the large electronic sign adjacent to the freeway that has been designated for the vendors. You may park there for the duration of the show.

Parking permits will be issued in the show office at the time arrival, and they are to
be displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle to alert mall security that you are a
show participant.

After you have unloaded your plants and supplies in the loading dock area, please move your vehicle to the designated parking area so that other vendors may unload.

All mall parking regulations, fire zones, red curbs will be enforced.

Booth:

A copy of your current and valid Sellers Permit issued by the California State Board of
Equalization must be displayed at your vendor booth. A copy is also to be on file with the show committee.

BOE agents are known to visit orchid shows to check for the permits. If the
committee does not have a copy of this permit submitted with your application, no booth assignment will be made. Note that refunds will not be given for failure to
secure or provide the show management with your Sellers Permit.

You can download an application form from the 2 Publications Section of the BOE at http://www.boe.ca.gov/sutaxlfaqseller.htm#1 or by calling 800-400-7115.
