Countdown to the Carter County Fair!Sponsorships are now available for 2009 You've seen
the progress at the fairgrounds. You know the festival and fair season is rapidly approaching -- and that means that the Carter
County Fair can't be far away. During the next few weeks, fair board members will be contacting you about the
many ways you and your business can be involved with the fair. Over 10,000 people will pass through the gates over
the course of the fair week. That gives you a whole lot of opportunities to meet, greet and promote. When your business
or organization is visible and active at community events like the fair -- it registers with the public. It positions you
and your company as one that cares about more than merely making a sale. It shows a willingness to work to make things a little
better. We know that budgets are tighter than ever. We realize that you will have to make choices about the promotions
and sponsorships you can afford in 2009. We hope you will continue to support the fair. The Carter County Fair has a history
as a long-standing and innovative organization. The scope of our projects extend well beyond the fair itself. Your contributions
of money, volunteer time, supplies or equipment will create another week's worth of fun for all of Carter County and the surrounding
region. There really are many ways to contribute -- please contact any fair board member to see how you can participate. Here are a few of the benefits of choosing to participate as a sponsor: A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE -- Close to 10,000 people will pass through the fairgrounds over the course of the
week -- think of the promotional opportunities to reach your audience one-on-one!
REGIONAL
PUBLICITY -- Your sponsorship will entitle you to a listing in the Fair Catalog, a tabloid section with details about
the fair included in area publications like The Morehead News , Grayson Journal-Enquirer and the Olive Hill Times.
DISPLAY SPACE -- Event and Corporate Sponsors receive complimentary 10x10 booth space.
Choose to be under the expo tent or bring your own and be an active presence at the fair. Each person entering the grounds
can see your exhibits!
NAME RECOGNITION -- Event Sponsors are able to have
their banners or signs posted on the grounds during their sponsored event. Corporate Sponsors signage is posted all week and
attached to all events. Event and Corporate sponsors will be listed on the Fair website, www.cartercountyfair.org, which gets
lots of traffic year around.
VIP TREATMENT -- Champion, Event and Corporate Sponsors
receive complimentary passes that enable you to enter the fairgrounds FREE each night of the fair and to attend all events
for FREE. Event and Corporate sponsors get one VIP parking pass.
CLIENT BUILDING and FUN
-- The most successful promotions at the fair involve interaction with the public. There are many great games or challenges
that adapt well to the county fair. Things like: who’s the best corn-hole player in the county, casting with a rod and
reel, spinning a wheel for small prizes, letting kids try on a firefighter’s helmet, and on and on. Each gives you and
your business or organization the chance to have a little fun and get to know a potential new client.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT -- Your participation aids a non-profit organization working to
ensure that residents of Carter County and surrounding regions will continue to benefit from the experience of participating
in the exhibits, competitions and entertainments of a true county fair.
