Since 1989 we have been bringing you the Manitoulin Trade Fair. MTF promotes businesses and services in the LAMBAC coverage area: Manitoulin and Highway 6 to Espanola and the North Shore – Nairn Centre to Massey. This is your opportunity to promote your new products and services and to sell at the same time.

Most exhibitors tell us they receive great value for the money, time and energy they spend participating in our show.

LAMBAC is proud once again to ask you to join us next May for our award winning show. In 2004, we drew over 9,000 people to MTF VIII during the 21 hours the show was open. This works out to 456 people per hour or 6.6 people per minute passing your booth. More people will pass your booth in one weekend than you see in a year.

As usual we will feature, a door prize, music, entertainment, seminars and much more. Our popular events, Exhibitors’ reception and Best Booth Contest will continue.

A reminder there is NO Smoking in the entire building. We will be making provision for an outside smoking area.

Parking will again be staffed by NEMI Volunteer firefighters and will feature a large seniors/handicapped lot. As well we will be providing passes ahead of the show for your best customers. Exhibitors will receive ribbons, which will be needed to access the coffee lounge.

Hours remain the same: Friday 6 to 10 pm, Saturday 10am to 9pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

MORE BOOTH SPACE (AGAIN)!

The image to the left shows the new booth layout in the upstairs hall

Additional spaces have been created by adding 25 booths in the upstairs hall. The booths are still 8' X 10'. The 2006 price will be $250 and $300 for the corners if paid before January 1, 2006 and $275 and $325 after January 1, 2006. Outside space remains at $150, however, there is no discount on outside space for early payment.  The fee for providing you with hydro will be $75. A full circuit will be $150. This charge is necessary because of large fees incurred by the show to provide hydro service to those who needed a lot of power.
