An Exhibition and Demonstrations of Wise Ways to Use Our Environment

The Youth Division of the Permian Basin Fair is seeking any non-profit organization involved with the youth of the Permian Basin to participate in an exhibition of ideas and programs that will educate the general public on their purpose and how to participate.

10 x 10 feet booth spaces will be made available to youth related organizations on a first come, first served basis at a cost of $25.00.  Each reserved booth will be supplied with electricity, curtains, table, and two chairs, as well as a designated number of passes for workers.  The Fair also has available, upon request, display panels for hanging art work and other displays.

A few 20 x 10 feet booth spaces are available at a cost of $35.

Booths should be inviting and appealing to the more than 80.000 visitors to the Permian Basin Fair.  Booths that invite active participation of fairgoers are expecially encouraged.

Awards will be presented to outstanding exhibits.
