Great news, Leduc! The Black Gold Rodeo 2016 Trade Fair is now taking applications to reserve your place at this hugely popular  event. With the economic hiccup Alberta is facing this year, businesses large and small are looking at ways to promote their products with the most bang for their tightly squeezed marketing buck.  Smart advertising people (not an oxymoron) are well aware that for turning the general public into paying customers, nothing compares to personal contact; meeting your potential clients face-to-face. For Leduc-area companies, there is no better opportunity for getting up-close and personal with people buying what you're selling, than the BGR Trade Fair with its legions of fellow Leducians (Leducites? Leducabors?) in attendance.

Although the rodeo isn't until June 2nd, going right throught to the 5th, and  it may seem like there's plenty of time to reserve your trade booth, the reality is that these spots go fast. Shrewd business owners don't wait for the last minute and chance get placed in a somewhat slower corner of the venue. Although every booth location is a winner, obviously some locations, particularly near entryways and the entertainment area, are more prime than others.

Here's why the Trade Fair is your best chance to promote your business

• The Black Gold Rodeo features the highest attendance numbers of any event in Leduc's calendar, drawing people out, not only from their homes in our own city, but from the whole region for miles around.
