Hello and thank you for vending the Shop Yinzer’s. This message is to review the basic information and rules for the upcoming show on June 7th & 8th 2025. This event has a 2 part event fee. Every vendor will have a vendor fee for your booth, which you will pay here, and you will also be responsible for a Chinese Auction donation gift valued at no less than $25.00. This donation may be anything you choose including items you sell with a $25 value.

PLEASE READ THIS IN FULL!!!

First let’s discuss the location. This event will be held at the following location:
Monroeville Convention Center
209 Mall Plaza Blvd
Monroeville, Pa 15146

If you have any issues finding the location, please call us and we will assist you in this.
The schedule for this event is as follows:

Friday June 6th:
– 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM – The hall will be opened for vendor setup

Saturday June 7th:
– 7:00 AM to 9:45 AM – The hall will be opened for vendor arrival and to finish setup

When you arrive at the hall for set up whether you are setting up on Friday or Saturday, you will drive to the RIGHT side of the hall and unload at the garage door. Please unload quickly and move your vehicles, for there is only space for about 3 vehicles at a time and there are over 200 vendors to load in. PLEASE BRING A DOLLY or something to bring your items to your table for we do not provide any. The convention center will have some, however, we ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THEM. We CANNOT load through the front doors, so please do not attempt to do so.

When you arrive at the hall to setup, please first come see the staff so you can be directed to your assigned tables. DO NOT just walk around and assume where you are seated. If you set up on Friday, please still come in through the SIDE DOOR and see a staff member when you arrive Saturday; you will need to get your vendor badge and check in that you have arrived. Friday setup is not mandatory. We just ask you be setup and ready for the show no later than 9:45 each show day. You are NOT permitted to pack up and leave the show early for any reason unless prior permission is granted by our staff. If you have a tent, you need to alert staff 2 weeks before the event so you can be placed where you can set such tent up. All of the tables are very sturdy and durable, but we want you to cover your tables with some sort of cover, even a simple plastic tablecloth. This looks professional and attracts more buyers to your space. If you paid for power, please bring extra extension cords and power strips as needed to reach to your table location from the power source. Your power connection may be up to 50′ from your booth. We will not have extra extension cords or power strips at this event, so please make sure to bring some. We will provide you with a clean location when you set up and we ask you to keep it cleaned up. If you need a garbage bag/can, please grab one of our staff members and we will get you one immediately. Upon cleanup of the event, we ask you break all empty boxes down and stack them in a pile on your table. We also ask you to clean up your area before you leave.

We normally do NOT have enough cash to help provide change, please keep this in mind and bring what’s necessary for your business.

If there is an issue with another vendor, please alert staff immediately so we can help resolve any situation. There is no smoking/vaping inside the venue. You may smoke/vape outside the front doors to the right when you walk out. With the exception of the food vendors with handmade goodies, there will be no food to be sold. You can have a candy bowl or such on your table if you choose. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Friday before the show, we will have the vendor list posted on our website and Facebook page. Sometimes it is late being posted, we usually get last minute changes from multiple people and have to adjust accordingly, please be patient. The website is currently under construction and will be completed with in a few weeks. We will post updates on our Facebook page until then.

When you arrive for setup, please allow our staff to show you where you will be setup, for some times we have last minute changes that have to be made. DO NOT ASSUME AND SEAT YOURSELF!!!! We would like for everyone to be set up completely by 9:45 am. We ask this so we can clear the walkway and this also allows vendors time to view other vendor’s displays before the general public is allowed in. The general public will be allowed in at 10:00 am. until 6:00 pm. During this time, we ask that you please man your tables to be able to answer any questions from customers. Please be aware that this is not a rule to man your tables at all times, for we understand there are single party vendors and they may not be able to do this the whole show; however, JACE Group Inc (the show promoters) and the Monroeville Convention Center will not be held liable in any way for lost, stolen or damaged items. This rarely happens, for with most shows, not only are we watching, but other vendors are watching also. If you see someone who has stolen something, please immediately alert the staff member to address the situation. We will have a breakfast table of assorted muffins and pastries for free to vendors from 8 AM till 9:45 AM. No outside food will be allowed to be brought into this event. The event location has an assortment of concessions available for purchase. There will be no smoking or vaping inside the building.

This is a professional event and you will need to remain professional at all times. We will not tolerate disruptions, including fighting, at any time during the event or setup and teardown. Anyone involved in a physical altercation will be asked to leave and will not be issued a refund of any kind. If you bring children, they must be in your control at all times inside and outside of the venue.

Special requests must be made 2 weeks prior to show. There is no switching tables, once you have arrived. No one under the age of 18 can be set up as a vendor or manning a table on their own.

Parking for vendors is to the far right of the Convention Center. You are NOT to park right by the loading area, by the front door, or in the front right of the venue. Customers that can’t find parking in this area tend to not stay. This has happened at another event we run at this venue and we have been forced to enforce it by towing vehicles. Vendor cars that refuse to move from customer parking areas will be towed at the owners expense. If you have a medical issue and can not park and walk 200 yards, please let staff know and they will have someone drive down to bring you back and we will take you to your car at the end of the day.

We look forward to seeing you are looking forward to a great show!
