The two lines will be marked so you know which is which. There will be ample room in the signing room for walkways, so wheelchairs, walkers, etc can move easily and safely.

There will be crowded control if needed.

Water will be stationed throughout the signing for anyone who needs/wants it.

There will be several team members and volunteers walking around all three of our events to offer assistance, and to bring any issues to our organizer's attention so they can be resolved quickly.

If you need extra assistance, please do not hesitant to flag down a team member/volunteer! All team members and volunteers will be wearing a dedicated shirt for visibility and recognition.
