Performance Guidelines

3) For those groups representing a business or school, one additional individual is invited to join us onstage to provide a short (60-90 second) promo for their business. These groups are also eligible to set up a FREE 10x10 booth space in Ferran Park to promote that business. No distribution of flyers, business cards, coupons, etc. will be allowed outside of this booth space.
