Exclusivity of industry is promised upon the implementation of a Naming Right. The packages can be negotiated to suitable terms, i.e. three years, five years, ten years, fifteen years and lifetime opportunities. Additionally, each package offers many benefits from the inclusion as a fair sponsor as well as inclusion on Expo Square marketing materials and some concession goods.
This program offers a unique opportunity for community leaders to get involved permanently at Expo Square. The Marketing component is immeasurable with over 4 million people from every demographic attending events throughout the year. Additionally, funds will go towards capital improvements at Expo Square as well as the creation of an endowment through the Friends of the Fairgrounds Foundation to help with future improvements.
