Maui Planning Dept. drafts updates for B & B and vacation rentals for Maui County.

Hawaii residents are stocking up on hand crank flashlights, propane and drinking water and pet carriers as Hurricane Flossie, the first major storm of the 2007 Hurricane season moves toward Hawaii.

Maui Healing Garden Event
Booth Information
To apply for a booth, please print out the Maui Booth Application PDF and fax it back to us. You can also call 808-638-0888 to apply by phone.
Apply by September 18th to get a $50 pre-registration discount!
Overview
The event will take place at the Maui Community College in Kahului. Maplink
“Main Tent Booths” will be set up under a large tent (room for 30 booths), and “Outdoor Booths” will be in the grassy areas surrounding the main tent.
Booths & Tables
Booth assignments will be made the day before the event, per our discretion. Massage & healing work booths will be grouped in the quietest spaces to provide maximum ambience. We will try to accommodate special requests, but priority booth spaces (corner areas, high traffic zones) will be given to early registrants and Hawaii Health Guide members when possible.
Booth space is 8’x8’. Tables are 2’x6’. Booth blocks are 4’ from tent edge and have 8’ center isles. Corner booths receive most exposure from both foot traffic and the weather elements. There will be a wind break setup, but Maui is blessed with strong trade winds, so be prepared!
Power
Limited electric power is available. Please register early and indicate what power is for.
Banners & Space dividers
You are welcome to bring signage, props, screens, massage tables, etc., so long as everything fits within your allotted space and does not block other vendors’ views or ability to be seen by participants. There are no walls, so if you have large banners, you’ll need to bring your own stands to hang them.
Restrictions
Booth sharing is not allowed, unless the businesses are clearly compatible. (For instance, two acupuncturists working out of the same clinic could share booth space, but an acupuncturist and an artist could not.) Please call to get approval if you have a request to share booth space.
Arrival Time
Please arrive by 8:30 AM to set up your booth area. The opening ceremony (prayers and intention setting for the day) will be at 9:30 AM, and we’d like everyone to be able to attend. The day’s lectures will begin at 10 AM. Booth breakdown will be at around 5 PM.
Food
You are responsible for your own food & beverages during the event. Several wonderful food vendors will be providing various foods throughout the day.
Raffle Items
We will be holding a raffle to benefit the Hawaii Health Guide Scholarship fund, and we welcome your donations of items, gift certificates, etc. It is an opportunity to have your business name and a few promotional words announced in front of the crowds gathered for the lectures & entertainment. The raffle coordinator will contact you at the beginning of the day to collect your items.
