ReptileFest - Exhibitors

Read This!

Most of you have been doing this for several years, and most of you can do this in your sleep, but once in awhile someone has a different idea about how to present animals or what to say. You are representing the Chicago Herpetological Society at ReptileFest, and your practices need to conform to those practices generally acceptable to the members and board of the CHS. The ReptileFest coordinator is the person charged with enforcing those standards. During ReptileFest the coordinator has the final say. Arguments or discussions about the standards should be made to the board of directors before or after ReptileFest.
