Here are a couple of FAQ answers below:

 

  • COMMUNICATION:  As you can imagine, as a one-man show up until the Classic, I receive many phone calls, emails and text messages.  The absolute best way to communicate with me is through email.  Most info vendors are seeking, I would need to be at my computer.   Also, I must have a chain of communication per management.  My email address dnrdan@gmail.com.

  • All vendors are responsible for following the SC Department of Revenue's rules and regs regarding your stay with us.  The Palmetto Sportsmen's Classic will not advise you on any of these rules and regs.  The SCDOR has created an informational website that touches on this subject matter (retail licenses, taxes, etc).  If you have any questions, please go to https://dor.sc.gov/event-guide or William.Hentz@dor.sc.gov directly.

  • Looking for local Hotel or RV information?  Please visit our HOTEL/RV INFO PAGE for up-to-date discounted rooms.  Remember, discounted rooms are limited.

  • Parking passes will be mailed out March 1, 2023.

  • You will receive your Vendor Pass(es) when you check-in either on Thursday or Friday of Classic Weekend.
