The 2009 Black Tie & Boots Texas Fair promises to be a smash hit for vendors and attendees alike. With over 15,000 attendees
roaming the exhibit hall and event and room to spread out, both vendors and attendees will have a great time. In the past, the Texas
Fair has proven a great marketing tool for participants with 85% making sales during the event and expanding contacts for future
marketing. From Pie-in-a-Jar to the Mars Rover, College Mascots and Recruiters to handmade cowboy boots, the Texas Fair is the place
for Texas business and those who want to access a truly Texas demographic.
