WE ARE GETTING SUPER CLOSE TO THE 30TH CCA CONVENTION NEXT WEEK AT THE SOUTH POINT HOTEL AND CASINO.

FOR ALL DEALERS ARRIVING ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, MAKE SURE YOU PREPARE FOR ENTRY INTO THE SOUTH POINT CONVENTION HALL NO EARLIER THAN 9:00AM. NO DEALERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER WITH OR WITHOUT MERCHANDISE BEFORE 9:00AM. THE PAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH DEALERS WANTING TO ENTER EARLY SINCE THEY WERE WAITING WITH CARTS FULL OF PRODUCTS BUT WE CAN’T OPEN THE DOORS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME.

IF YOU ARE ENTERING VIA THE BACK COVERED PARKING AT THE REAR CONVENTION HALL DOOR, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALREADY MARKED THE BOX FOR REAR DOOR RATHER THAN FRONT REGISTRATION DESK. WE WILL HAVE STAFFED VOLUNTEER TABLE AT THE REAR DOOR OF THE CONVENTION HALL FOR THOSE DEALERS WHO WHO REQUESTED THIS DEALER CHECK-IN. OUR VOLUNTEERS WILL GIVE YOU THE DEALER ENVELOPE CONTAINING ALL DEALER BADGES AND OTHER ITEMS. YOU WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO SIGN FOR THE PACKET.

WE WILL HAVE THE SAME PROCESS WITH DEALERS ENTERING THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS. THE FRONT DOOR DEALER CHECK IN WILL START AT 9:00AM AT THE REGISTRATION DESK ACROSS FROM THE CONVENTION HALL. THE REGISTRATION DESK WILL ALSO HAVE VOLUNTEERS CHECKING ALL DEALERS AS WELL AS CCA MEMBERS. EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE AN ID READY AS YOU REQUEST THE PACKETS FOR VERIFICATION. PLEASE PUT ON YOUR DEALER ID BEFORE EXITING SINCE NOBODY WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE FRONT OR REAR DOORS WITHOUT VALID IDENTIFICATION.

IF YOU ARE A DEALER AND WOULD NOW WANT TO ENTER THROUGH THE REAR LOADING DOCK DOOR, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CONTACT JIM STEFFNER OR GEORGE DMITREVSKY SO THE DEALER PACKET CAN BE CHANGED TO THE READ DOOR- IT’S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL AS LONG AS WE KNOW AHEAD OF TIME. IF YOU SHOW UP AT THE BACK DOOR AND IT WAS NOT PRE SCHEDULED, YOUR DEALER PACKET WILL BE AT THE FRONT REGISTRATION DESK SO THIS WILL SLOW YOU DOWN APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WHILE WE FIND SOMEONE TO OBTAIN THE PACKET AS WE ARE ALREADY SHORT STAFFED. LAST YEAR, I BELIEVE WE HAD 30+ DEALERS ENTER THROUGH THE LOADING DOCK SO IT CAN GET BUSY WITH FOOT TRAFFIC.

ANY QUESTIONS OR CHANGES, PLEASE CONTACT JIM STEFFNER, GEORGE DMITREVSKY OR MYSELF ASAP SO THE CHANGES CAN BE MADE.

A BIG THANKS TO ALL VOLUNTEERS,CCA OFFICERS,DEALERS AND MEMBERS FOR PULLING TOGETHER MAKING THIS 30TH CCA CONVENTION POSSIBLE.
