Regarding product sales at the Fall Jam:
If you have items of interest to contact improv dancers (generally clothing) that you would like to sell at CIB events, please contact the organizers in advance. We have limited space available for vendors, and may not be able to say yes to everyone, so it is important you let us know well ahead of time.
