Question: Is it allowable to pass out candy at our exhibit booths?
Answer: As long as it is not prohibited by the rules or causes a potential safety hazard, you may give out candy. We would recommend that it be aligned with the theme. Otherwise, one might question the purpose.
Question: May we have live animals in our exhibit booth?
Answer: There is nothing in the rules that prohibits your having live animals in your exhibit booth. However, the following needs to be addressed:
- Safety is paramount. - Precautions against cross contamination must be taken. Also, the animal(s) must be treated humanely.
- Containment. - All items in your booth must be contained within an 8' x 8' x 8' cube at all times. So no 9-foot giraffes will be allowed.
- Clean up. - You are responsible for cleaning and removing any messes made in and around your booth.
- Is it worth it? - Is a live chicken more effective than a drawing of a chicken to tell your story? That's for you to decide, but consider this as you make decisions regarding your booth.
