Location: Northwest | I've taken over as the Vendor Director for my local organization and am hoping to revamp our vendor section at our large races. Would love to hear what types/or who you really like having at the big races.
In the past we only have had 2 food carts, 2 tack dealers, one or two supplement outfits, one saddle dealer, a metal artist and two clothing stores. This is at a Large two day race, actually one of the largest futurities in the nation. Seems like I could make it a lot better! |

Location: Arkansas | We don't get to go a lot anymore, but I enjoy food (imagine that  ), tack vendors, and clothing/jewelry. I'm not much help since that covers what you already have!! I also enjoy looking at trailers at the NCHA Futurity when we go.

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | At our big big shows they normally put out a vendor form so anyone can get a spot if they want to sell something. I love when L&W comes, i love shopping for bits. lol I also like when dealers that have PHT/BOT or So No More are there. Things that arent at your everyday tack shop. I know to save up extra money when i go to these shows just for the shopping. Plus it keeps the vendors wanting to come back every year. |

| Vendors with quality leather items. Reins, headstalls, breast collars, curb straps, off billets, latigos, etc...not the blingy crap. Not all of us what to look like we've been hit by a glitter bomb.
I agree with the liniment...specials on Sore No More, Draw It Out, etc... |

| Out in Rapid City, there's a Starbucks type coffee place that usually has a stand at events at the fairgrounds event center. They seem like they're always busy!! Their frappes are a nice treat after a run. |

Thank you! I had someone else tell me to try and get a coffee stand so I'm going to try and find one! |

this. When we went to the futurity it was nice to get coffee or smoothies there since we don't have a full LQ we couldn't make coffee and going to MacDonald's or the gas station wasn't an option every day.
I also like seeing a few different tack or clothing vendors that offer competing items is nice. And not junk...even if it is blingy, I like quality items, not the cheapo auction type stuff. |
