Pope County Community Expo

Saturday, April 8, 2017 
Minnewaska Area High School
9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. 


Click here to see the current map for Sponsors and Exhibitors. The map, if you scroll over the booths, will show if they are available or already taken, prices, sizes, and amenities that are included. Once a booth is reserved (first-come, first-serve), another exhibitor will not be able to select it.

Sponsors will choose their booth(s) and upload their logos into the system at the time of registration. Booth locations are limited, so be sure to register early to get the spot(s) you wish to choose.

One work around that we are aware of is that the registration system will charge our sponsors for their booth rental fees at the time they register, but know that once you are registered, we will correct that pricing and issue a new invoice for Sponsors from our office until we find a way around that issue.

Here are the following Sponsorship levels for this year's event:

• Logo on promotional give-away items
• Booth location(s) selected prior to regular exhibitor registration opening
• 3 standard booths OR 1 premium booth plus 1 standard and/or outdoor booth
• Color logo on all promotional community display boards, posters & email blasts
• 1/4 page color ad in the Pope County Community Expo Special Edition Newspaper

Silver: $1,600.00

• Booth location(s) selected prior to regular exhibitor registration opening
• 2 standard booths OR 1 premium booth
• Name mention on all promotional community display boards, posters & email blasts
• 1/8 page color ad in the Pope County Community Expo Special Edition Newspaper

• Booth location(s) selected prior to regular exhibitor registration opening
• 1 standard booths
• Name mention on all promotional community display boards, posters & email blasts

We are using a new event registration system that has been built for the Expo, so please bear with us as we test out the system for the first time and learn as we go!
