General Commercial Exhibitor Information

We are excited to host some of the best shopping in the Big Country! Our booth spaces vary in size, location, and venue, so that the West Texas Fair & Rodeo customers, participant, and enthusiasts can view all there is to see across the whole Expo grounds!

Display Building

The Display Building is an indoor shopping area located in the center of the Fairgrounds next to the Big Country Hall and the Carnival. It is easily accessible and a great place to take a break with the family to do some shopping. This building offers a range of products and services that are hand selected each year. This building accommodates 77 vendor booths within the 28,000 square ft building, which allows a steady flow of traffic.

Food Vendors

Each Food Vendor is carefully selected. Presentation and appearance are very important and only the highest quality booths with exceptional food products are selected. Due to the economics of supply and demand, the West Texas Fair & Rodeo limits the amount of same food products being served. Each booth must send a picture of their booth with the initial application. This vendor booth is sold by the foot.
