Clarification on Live Animals and Food



It has come to our attention that the rules this year indicate that no food may be given out at exhibit booths. We are interpreting this to include candy. Therefore, please refrain from giving out candy at your exhibit booth. 

A news post on our website answered the question regarding having live animals in exhibit booths. While this is not specifically forbidden by BEST rules, we strongly discourage the use of live animals in your booth. The cost, in our view, definitely outweighs the benefit. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. 

Please address any questions regarding these issues to Dr. Mike Kennamer (kennamerm@nacc.edu).
