The Western Heritage Classic Trade Show is an invitational trade show that has continued to emerge and transform over the last 35+ years. The Expo Center of Taylor County has had the privilege of hosting the elite of commercial vendors/exhibits during the Western Heritage Classic. We are thrilled that you would like to be considered to join us in celebrating true, western heritage and ranching traditions during our three-day extravaganza.

Our booth spaces vary in size, location, and venue to ensure that all Western Heritage Classic members, participants and enthusiasts are given the opportunity to experience all the Expo has to offer. We welcome around 35,000 visitors during our three-day event who are ready to shop till they drop, eat delicious food and experience great, action-packed ranching heritage.

The Western Heritage Classic reserves the right to assign space in accordance with other vendors and products. We strive to maintain a large variety of products in all areas and do our best to not overload one specific category. We do not offer exclusives. If you are interested in becoming a vendor and would like to be considered, please fill out the PDF application specific to the building that you are interested in. There is not a guarantee that there will be any openings in that specific area. Be sure to include as many details as possible along with pictures and/or brochures of your products and merchandise. Once your application is received it will be juried and carefully considered. If chosen, you will be notified by phone or e-mail and a final contract will be sent to you.
