The amount of exhibitor vehicles in prime parking spots could cause some people to drive on by without stopping.
You are encouraged to offer prizes, which will be given away during the evening.
Food will be available! The Montezuma High School kitchen staff will be serving a meal for a suggested donation.
Area businesses and industries, home business operators, groups and organizations all are encouraged to exhibit their goods and services at this show!

Your fee will provide one 8-foot table and two chairs, along with advertising in area media and the chance to meet customers.

If you want an extra space, you must pay the full fee for that space.
See you there!
