Showcase Your Business and Make a Difference in Your Community

Marketing Benefits Sponsoring the North Fair & Rodeo will give your business exposure unlike any other partnership. You can increase your branding with logo or name inclusion in newspaper ads, event websites, eblasts, marketing publications, and more. Double, even triple, the impact of your advertising dollars by being included in major event advertising and media. Onsite Visibility & Interaction Pre-event and onsite banners, reader board ads, and signage will expose your organization and message to upwards of 20,000 vehicles per day. Complimentary sponsor booths and demonstrations are a great way to add personal interaction with local and regional guests and attendees. Community Feel good about ensuring the perpetuity of our communitys gathering place. Sponsors are not only an integral partner in ensuring that the Fairgrounds and its entertainment and education will be around for future generations to enjoy, but also play a large role in the quality of entertainment able to be offered to the area. And simply put more high quality events in North Idaho means more tourism dollars and more impact on local business. VIP Entertainment A perk offered to major event sponsors is exclusive admission, passes, hospitality, and VIP treatment. Enjoy a more private way to view a concert, show, or the rodeo with box seats, a Silver Buckle Club membership, or even NEW IN 2014 Silver Buckle Club SkyLounge membership and give your clients, guests, and friends the best seat in the house! Post-Event Reconciliation We take the guesswork out of your sponsorship by providing each sponsor with a thorough post-event reconciliation. This report will include such items as marketing tear sheets, event attendance figures, and promotional recaps.

We invite you to tap into the branding & marketing power of North Idahos biggest & brightest celebration...
