Dear Castaways,

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a busy show.
That started from Gate Number 12,
Aboard the antique flow.

The mate was a mighty antique dealer,
The skipper brave and sure.
Three hundred booths would fill the East Expo,
For a vintage shopping tour,
A vintage shopping tour.

The weather started looking good,
The crowds are on their way.
If not for the courage of the dealer crew,
The show would be delayed,
The show would be delayed.

The East Expo is the only hall
We’ll occupy this trip.
So if you’re looking for Buildings 6 through 10,
You’ve missed this month’s ship.

Setup is Thursday, 8 to 5,
That’s when we’ll make our stand.
Enter through Gate 12 when you arrive,
To reach our little island.

If unloading lanes are occupied,
Please do not roam about.
Line up at Gate 2 on the left front side
Of the East Expo, without a doubt.

The Professor says move vehicles quickly,
The Skipper says the same.
Gilligan parked at a loading door once,
And he’s still carrying the blame.

Need tables, walls, electric, help,
Or something else in tow?
Call Dispatch at 561-410-2560,
They’re the ones who need to know.

But remember this important fact,
Lest frustration start to grow:
Dispatch is answered during setup and show hours,
Not at midnight, don’t you know.

So join us here this Thursday,
For another antique spree.
With indoor and outdoor exhibitors,
As far as the eye can see.

The East Expo is packed this month,
The aisles are good and tight.
Let’s build a great show together,
And make the weekend bright.
