Local Business Opportunity
We're looking for local businesses that want to get involved with the second annual Cooter Carnival: a Cootertober Event! This is a hands-on, community-driven event featuring a Cooter Race (potato sack race), a pumpkin design contest, and more!
Help us throw an amazing event for the community, all while getting your business in front of future customers! There is no vendor fee for this event; however, businesses are required to present booths that fit the Cooter Carnival theme and offer a free carnival game for kids and families. Last year's inaugural event saw over 5,000 people in attendance - so it's a great, low-cost way to market your business and connect with local customers. This year we've added awards for the best presented booths - so bring your A-game Citrus County!
