Q: When does my longhorn need to be ready?


A: Your longhorn needs to be decorated by 4pm on 10.19.

If your longhorn is ready early and you would like to promote it to garner votes in your favor, please feel free to post it and tag Grow Ellsworth County OR send it to us for posting! We will bring you your personalized voting box no later than 10.12. Please DO NOT put your voting box out before the event.


Q: How do people vote for their favorite longhorn?


A: Fall Fest attendees can pick up their information packet and voting ticket at 4pm on 10.19 at the Grow Ellsworth County table in front of the Antique Mall. They will be provided a location list of all longhorn participants and a voting ticket (see below). They simply drop their ticket in their favorite voting box!


Q: Where do I put my voting box?


A: It’s up to you, but make it convenient for you! If your voting box will NOT be at your physical store location, please let us know that so we can inform the attendants where to find your longhorn.


Finally, please don’t forget to help us promote Fall Fest! Use your social media channels and other communication to promote ALL activities for Fall Fest! Together, we will bring more attention to the event and increase participation! I need YOU to help promote it to your audience!
