Exhibitor Guidelines

www.heritageparkofnorthiowa.com 

  • Exhibitors must register upon entry to the show grounds. At that time, the exhibitor will be given admission wristbands for the people in their immediate party (limit 4), a special exhibitor's souvenir button, and material to identify their exhibit, and information where they can setup their exhibit.
  • Exhibitors are those individuals who display approved items during Heritage Park show days. Exhibitors also include those individuals who are asked to help operate equipment during show days. Driving a tractor through the Parade of Power does not qualify as an Exhibitor.
  • Appropriate exhibits include antique tractors, gas engines, steam engines, automobiles, motorcycles, farm-related machinery as well as draft horses.
  • Steam engine exhibits must undergo a safety inspection before operating at Heritage Park. The operator will be interviewed and boiler will be given a safety inspection which may include an ultrasonic thickness test.
  • Set up and registration will be allowed beginning in the afternoon, the day before each show. Special arrangement can be made if it is necessary to set up before this time.
  • For the most part, only outside space is available to display exhibits. However, limited inside stalls for draft horses will be available. In addition, for unique exhibits, inside space will be made available, but the exhibit must be approved and the exhibitor must reserve space prior to the show.
  • Exhibitors will be responsible for their own meals on show days. Ample food vendors will be available at reasonable prices.
  • Exhibitors are asked to be safety conscious and exercise common sense at all times.
  • Exhibitors are encouraged to consider becoming a member of Winnebago Historical Society thereby supporting the efforts of Heritage Park. Membership information is provided on our web site.
  • A designated parking area and on-site primitive camping sites will be provided for exhibitors free of charge.
  • Registered exhibitors will be invited to our annual appreciation/annual meeting supper.
  • The Winnebago Historical Society takes no responsibility nor does it have insurance for stolen or damaged items.
