Doll Club Exhibit and Information

The Club Exhibit has rules. Everyone wants to be involved and some people do not want to follow the rules. Everyone is special; their work is special and no one else knows how handle their art work. To keep order, and more important, your dolls do not come up missing the rules must be followed. If you fill out your doll clubs name on page 21, we will send you detailed information kit, and we will care for your dolls as if they were our own. Here are some of the general information.

1. For a faster doll check-in, have pre-made tent cards. We will also have them available and will make them for you when you check in. The tent cards are for display, so please write neatly. Samples will be provided in your info pack to copy. The tent card should be pinned on the back of the doll with a straight pin.

2. There also will be a sign made out by AFIC on the table identifying the Doll club, City and State with the dolls.

3. You can bring flyers to put on the table about your club.

4. Two people will be allowed to check the club dolls in. You will need to fill from your information packet or when you arrive we will give you one to fill out.

5. The check out sheets will be stapled to a “Your Check out Card”. Every single doll is checked off the list as you pack the dolls up or walk them out the door.. You and your partner will sign for these dolls being released..

6. This year one doll per doll member. This display is growing and so is the display for the students.

Your rules are to keep your work safe. I would hope that you respect our rules as much as we respect your work. This exhibit takes us better than one and half days to check in and set up only takes 30 to 45 minutes to tear down. We take precautions to only have a limited amount of people in the exhibit room at any one time. Yet we go as fast as humanly possible, so that everyone can get in and out as fast.

Let them be part of the experience. Join the fun and visit the Vendors and Exhibit Hall
