If If you don’t like crowds, you might want to wait until after 2 PM, or Sunday. • The doors will not open early. • Bring your own boxes — while we will have some on-site, bringing your own will spare you from having to hunt for the one that's "just right". • You may want to take advantage of our Plant Hotel to hold your plants while you continue shopping. Be sure to hang on to your claim check, so you can retrieve your plants. For more details on the Plant Hotel, see the Plant Hotel FAQ. • Pets, in particular dogs, are not allowed. (Sorry. It’s not that we don’t love them. It’s just that it’s safer for everyone if they stay home, and in any case, fairgrounds rules forbid it.) • To make shopping safer and more pleasant, the aisles will be wider than in pre-pandemic days. • The wider aisles notwithstanding, while you’re welcome to bring your cart to help transport all of your purchases, please keep said cart out of the aisles themselves. • For faster checkout, please plan to pay by debit or credit card. Our systems support contactless payment, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Unfortunately, we are unable to take checks. Cash is acceptable. • You can sign up for CSSSJ membership at the Show and Sale, as well as online. Please note, however, that we will not be taking membership signups at the door during early access.
