We appreciate all of our scrapbooking moms, however only small umbrella strollers are allowed on the show floor (infants unable to sit-up or handicapped will be allowed in other small single seat strollers). Jogging strollers and other strollers with a large wheel/base will not be permitted, no exceptions. This is to keep our aisles clear and safe for all guests to walk the floor. If you have a Bag or Stroller that does not meet the requirements you will be asked to stop by our Baggage claim and check your item.
We know our scrappers love to shop and crop and having a wheeled bag/rolling cart is not only practical, but ideal. Unfortunately, these items are not permitted on the show floor (shopping area), however they are permitted in the crop area and classrooms. You're more than welcome to check your rolling tote in at our complimentary Baggage Claim area.
As a service to all our guests we offer a Free Baggage Check at each show location. If you have any item that you would like to have held for you at the Free Baggage Check simply trade your items for a claim ticket. (Keep this ticket as it is your only way of getting your items back). It is recommended that you have your name on the bag or inside your bag for additional identification purposes.
If you have a non-profit organization or women’s group and would like to run our Baggage Check please contact us at info@scrapbookexpo.com.  It’s a great way to get the word out about your organization and get to attend the EXPO at the same time.

We'd like to thank our generous sponsors
