This is my first catalog transition - and I'm not sure how it works with my late February shows.

Do all orders for the current catalog have to be submitted by Feb 29th? Or do I have a little time to get everything together?

I have 4 shows in the next week, and I'm sure they aren't all going to close before March/new catalog starts. I just want to make sure I'm not messing anything up!!
 
You have time to submit them. All Fall/Winter orders have to be in by March 31st, but sooner is always better (especially if anyone orders retiring products).

Oh good! I won't let the shows go very long... I like to have them closed within 3-4 days max, but I just wanted to make sure I had time.

Are customers allowed to order from the new catalog on the same order?
 
No, they are not.
 
Nope, because the catalog in effect is based on the SHOW date, just like the specials.
