The MIAF committee invites you to join us at the Annual Michigan International Alpaca Fest. As the largest alpaca show in Michigan, this event will provide an excellent opportunity for breeders, enthusiasts, and the general public to familiarize themselves with the products and/or services you offer.
This year’s show will be September 25 – 26, 2010 at Perani Arena & Event Center in Flint, Michigan. The show, seminars, food, and vendors will all be under one air-conditioned roof that is locked at night. The show ring will be set up in the south wing of the facility (Lapeer Ave). With the excellent advertising, the activity of the halter show, the fleece competition, and the draw of the alpacas, we anticipate many visitors, which maximize customer accessibility for you. The vendor area is spacious and well lit; space is limited so please register early! Placement is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our advertising campaign in collaboration with the Perani Arena & Event Center runs right up until the show weekend. The Event Center’s marquee is visible from I-69, which is excellent advertising and captures thousands of onlookers every day. With regional advertising and a prime location, you can expect the return on your investment to be comparable with other similar events of this size.
The following list outlines specific information regarding the show and vendor set up:
- Vendor booths at $200 per 10’ x 10’ booth
