BASE Gear Trade Show
Overview
The BASE Gear Trade Show is a Bridge Day tradition with 6-10 parachute industry vendors selling products and displaying new gear. More than 500 BASE jumpers attend each year. Jumpers looking to purchase pilot chutes, T-shirts, risers, toggles, BASE pin rigs, and wingsuits will find them here. BASE gear manufacturers often unveil new products and host seminars each year. Further instructions and details regarding the BASE Gear Trade Show will be emailed to all vendors after their vendor booth purchase.
Where/When
At River Expeditions' Fire Creek Lodge in Oak Hill, West Virginia on October 14-15, 2010. Check the schedule for exact times. Vendors can keep their booths intact and sell through Friday night.
Reserving Vendor Booths
Vendor booths can be reserved starting July 1 at 2pm EDT (18:00 GMT). The following diagram shows six vendor booths available on a first-come, first-serve basis. All booth locations will provide for more than adequate traffic, as the Fire Creek Lodge will be packed full of jumpers all week. Vendor booths include at least two tables and two chairs, but additional tables are often available. Jump slots are not included with trade show booths.
Lodging for Vendors
If vendors contact us via email by June 23, 2010, we can guarantee a hotel, motel, or cabin with one of our lodging partners. Vendors must then reserve their lodging before July 1, 2010.
Important
Vendors who are interested in selling their goods to the thousands of Bridge Day spectators near the bridge should contact the Chamber of Commerce.
