Tips for Fun Shopping
1. Please bring your cash in small bills

2. There is a generic ATM machine inside the Civic Center. If you happen to bank at Wells Fargo, there is a branch right next to the Civic Center

3. There will be a snack bar for your food and beverage needs. There are no vending machines available at the Glendale Civic Center. Outside food is only permitted in the patio area.

4. The shopping area will open at 10am sharp. The Civic Center doors open at 8:30am. You will be able to line up inside the building once you've paid your admission.

5. To be included in the door prize drawings, fill out a survey card.

6. There will be an information table with flyers available. Stop by and pick up one of each of the flyers. There are usually some flyers that are not available in your goody bag. These are local businesses and services pertinent to home educators. Yes, you can just put them into your goody bag. It is YOUR bag, you may do with it as you will.

7. Because there is an admission fee, please understand that you will be asked to show your hand stamp to the person at the entrance to the immense shopping room!

8. Make a list of books you are looking for. Make a duplicate list for your spouse or additional helper. Some shoppers have gone a step further and cut out pictures of the books from catalogs lying around their home. This makes it easier and also shows them the NEW price so they will know if the USED price is a good one.
