DRESS
REHEARSAL: Monday, Aug. 25: 8 a.m. – 5
p.m.
The ISU Farm Progress Show Committee will take care of setting up each
exhibit and tearing down. We ask that someone from the exhibit
stop by during Dress Rehearsal on Monday, Aug. 25, to become familiar
with the exhibit location and set-up and to make any minor last minute
adjustments as able.
SHOW
HOURS:
Tuesday, Aug. 26: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
*(Show hours end at 5 p.m.; however, we will be hosting a reception
in the exhibit area from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and request that each display provide
staff during the timeframe to interact with the invited guests).
Wednesday, Aug. 27: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 28: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The 2008
Farm Progress Show Committee requests that each display has one person
(and no more than two people per shift) to be at each exhibit during
show hours.
Shift A: 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.* (indicate on
signup sheet if staff will stay until 7 p.m. for reception on Tuesday)
Shift B: 7:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Shift C: noon – 5:30 p.m.
FOOD:
Refreshments will be available within the ISU exhibit each morning and
afternoon. Departments or areas are asked to reimburse individual
exhibit staff for additional on-site expenses including meals and
mileage (if not using the shuttle).
RESTROOMS:
Student assistants will be available for those needing restroom breaks
during your assigned shift. Restrooms will be public restrooms
located a few blocks from the ISU exhibit.
TRANSPORTATION:
Transportation will be provided to and from Ames to the site based upon
schedule needs. Each staff person should indicate
if they will be using provided shuttle or arriving on their own so
we may plan accordingly. A shuttle will transport from Ames
to Farm Progress Show site and back again two times each day (prior
to each shift) during show hours. Actual shuttle times and
pick up locations will be distributed a few weeks prior to the show. Additional
transports will be provided on an emergency basis as needed. Parking
is free at the Farm Progress Show site.
DRESS:
All staff are requested to wear khaki slacks and red Iowa State University
or Iowa State University Extension shirts. Please keep in mind
you will be on a rock surface and subject to the weather when walking
around the show site. Comfortable, closed toe shoes are advised.
