Thank you for your support of the IGNITE '08 event. Church participation is key to the success of our event and we are thrilled that you are joining our team to make this a successful outreach for Christ.

IGNITE '08 is a non-profit event and keeping as many things, as possible, free will allow more people to be in attendance. Therefore, it is critical that we have as many volunteers from our area churches to help make this event successful, without incurring much financial burden.

The church booths (tents) are used for you to promote your church, provide information to church-seekers about your church, and to supplement the needs of the event. This is an excellent time to reach out to non-believers and to fellowship with other believers around the community.

While we realize that you are donating your time and resources to this event, there are a few guidelines that we ask be followed to help the event run smoothly and inexpensively:

• You are required to provide your own booth. Most people use typical outdoor tents with tables at the front to serve as "counter space". The size of the booth should be no larger than 15-feet wide.

• You will be required to provide a trash can outside your booth for the attendees to use. You will be responsible for keeping the trash can emptied and will need to remove your trash from the site at the end of the event.

• To help supplement the hydration needs of the event, we ask that you provide a minimum of (10) 24-bottle cases of water (240 bottles, roughly $40 in cost) iced down at your booth.

• It is recommended that you provide something "free" to the attendees of the event. This could be food or drink.  Some examples are: cotton candy, popcorn, chips, peanuts, slushies, smoothies, soft-drinks, etc.  Please contact the church booth organizer for more ideas at ignite@ignitepellcity.com  before finalizing your plans because we need a variety of items and don't want everyone to do the same thing.

• We will provide you with two 120v power outlets at your booth.

• Please do not sell anything at your booth. Everything at IGNITE must remain free.

• Please have your booth setup and operational by 12pm, the day of the event. After 12pm, all vehicles used for load/unloading will be asked to leave the field.

• You may wish to have a little bit of lighting at your booth to use in the last hour of the event before shutdown.  You must supply your own lighting.

• Feel free to get creative with your booth. Themes and decorations will serve to make an attractive area for people to visit and enjoy.

• When David Nasser takes the stage to deliver his message, all booths will be asked to close down and turn off any generators.  This will serve to remove any distractions and to keep everyone focused on the speaker.

• Please do not dismantle your booth UNTIL THE END of the event.  It will distract from the events on stage.

• All trash and booth materials must be removed from the site by 10pm. This will help to expedite our cleanup effort.

• Be prepared for rain. We will only stop the event if there is lightning.  The event will not be rescheduled due to inclement weather.

• Prepare for a large crowd.  Don't underestimate.  In our first year, we had clost ot 3000 in attendance. This year, with the additions of Big Daddy Weave and the participation of many more churches, we expect at least 6000 people in attendance.  We estimate that you should have enough of your concession to serve 60-70% of that number.
