Just a little about Des Moines. We have a metro population of nearly 500,000 people. We have three full service bead stores in the metro area and an active Bead Society.

The venue we have chosen, 7 Flags Event Center , 2100 NW l00 th Street, Clive, IA 50325, is conveniently located near the interstate, near many hotels and restaurants, has plenty of free parking, and easy access for vendor loading and unloading. We have chosen this venue to allow our customers ample space to move around as well as plenty of vendor space.

We plan to advertise in some of the national magazines as well as local ads. We will also submit this show to the free calendars in all the bead magazines. We plan to sell advanced admission to the show and to promote packages for the weekend to nearby bead societies.
