Sponsors at all sponsorship levels are eligible for sign placement at the fairgrounds during fair week.
- Sponsors may provide a finished sign of their own design, or the fair board will provide a sign as follows:
- White vinyl banner with hem and grommets
- Full color text and graphics
- Text and any finished artwork to be provided by the sponsor
- Except for sponsorships with designated sign placement, signs will be either on the perimeter fence or at the sponsored event/venue
A note about sign graphics: The logos and artwork our sponsors provide must be vector or high-resolution PDF images. Many graphics used for printing don’t scale well and look awful when blown up to a size appropriate for a large banner. Sponsorships don’t include any graphic design work. It is assumed that any logos or graphics you provide for your banner will be camera-ready and appropriate for scaling up.
