Please remember, the make and takes take the traders a lot of time and effort to put together. Please be considerate of the teachers, other show participants and the venue. Some traders will encourage kids but please supervise and check with each retailer if it is okay.
Our make and takes are very popular and demand can be very high, so please plan your visit accordingly.
