Every individual attending The Best in the West Showdown is required to have an admissions wristband, including vendors, volunteers, and staff. This policy is strictly enforced during the event, and no person will be allowed admission to the event venue without a valid wristband for the current year. Vendors may choose one of the two wristband options below to purchase for the people who will be working in their booth. Please read the description of each option closely and choose the one that will work best for you and your staff. Wristband orders that are submitted and paid for with this application will be included in your vendor packet for you to pick up or they can be mailed to you.

A wristband MUST be purchased for EVERY individual working your booth.

OPTION #1

3-Day Pass -- $25.00 (if purchased before January 1)

The traditional 3-Day Pass wristband, this option is best for those who may only be working for part of the weekend, but wish to enjoy the Showdown as an attendee.

OPTION #2

Vendor Wristband -- $10.00

This option is for those who are ONLY at the event to work at the booth during the festival.

This wristband allows the wearer to enter and exit the park to work, make deliveries, make ice runs, etc. throughout the weekend. This wristband is NOT appropriate for family members or others who plan to participate as an attendee at any event activities or shows (such as children’s activities, watching races) Those found abusing the privilege and violating the stated use of the Vendor wristbands will be asked to leave the event.
