Exhibitors

Welcome to the Happy Valley Comic and Collectibles Convention! Browse through our application and let us know if you have any questions. This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.

Offering some of the least expensive booths for a comic convention in Pennsylvania, vendors will be able to choose between a full booth space or half-booth space. Half-booths will be 10 feet wide x 6 feet deep and come with 2 vendor passes. A full booth will be 10 x 10 and come with 3 vendor passes. Each additional booth provides one additional vendor pass.

Booths are empty spaces and vendors need to provide their own tables and chairs. Vendors will be able to purchase tables at $12 a table and chairs for $6 each if they would like to.

REMINDER: Booths do not come with any tables or chairs (unless purchased as an Add On).

Free wifi and electricity will be available all 3 days. Due to potential tripping hazards, only certain booths will have access to electricity.

Vendors will have a Vendor Only Wifi signal to use during the convention. Attendees will be on a different signal.

The Sports Centre is a family friendly center and has some limitations to what can be offered.

Weapon Vendors - No firearms will be allowed at the convention. Obvious toy weapons such as those used for LARPing or superhero based items like Thor’s hammer or Captain America’s shield will be allowed. Swords and other steel weapons will also be allowed to be sold but please be careful. We ask that if a weapon is purchased, it is wrapped and the person is escorted to an exit immediately. The person can then put the weapon in their car and return to the convention. No one will be allowed to walk the convention with a sword/dagger, mace, etc.

Food Vendors - The Centre will have a concession stand but other food vendors will be allowed to vend as long the vendor is not selling hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, sodas and the like that would directly compete with the concession stand. Feel free to ask if your items are being offered by the concession stand. Candy, hot sauce and similar items will all be acceptable. 

Pornography/Adult Material - The Centre will not allow any content that would be considered adult. This convention will be family themed. If you have any material that could be classified as adult in nature, please do not bring it.

Non-Comic or Collectible Vendors – As of now, we are not accepting vendors that are not sellers of collectible merchandise. If you sell roofing, siding, bathrooms, cable TV, phone services or the like, please do not apply. The Nittany Valley Sports Centre hosts the Centre County Everything Home Expo later on in the year.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Art – The convention shares the belief that having a computer steal art from other artists is not true art. Any vendor selling AI art will be asked to leave and if you do sell AI art, please do not rent a booth. We would like artists that create their own works of art at the convention.

3D Printing Vendors - We have had a huge influx of 3D printing vendors wanting to vend at our show. If you are a 3D printing vendor, we highly encourage you to carefully inspect our current list of vendors and consider NOT vending at our show. 3D vendors have not done well in recent years due to an oversaturation of similar merchandise.

We appreciate the time and artistry 3D modeling requires, however if this year's convention is any indication, the market is oversaturated. Our aim with this warning and the list of vendors is to inform prospective 3D sellers that they are taking a higher risk than others vending at HVC3.
