Contact:  Dave Johnson/ dave@swnm.com /505 544-3483

(Deming)--Are you a vendor?  Are you handy with crafts, maybe have a retail
business you would like to promote during the duck race, or perhaps you are
a food vendor.  It's not too late to be part of the 2004 25th Annual Great
American Duck Race, August 26th-29th.
   Vendor Quacker Ginger Smith says "applications will be accepted as long
as space is available, even though the official deadline has passed."
   Spaces ranges from $95 to $255 depending on the size, type and location in 
Courthouse Park.  Some non-profit spots are available for $25.  These are 
limited to clubs and church groups.
   Spaces do not include tables or chairs.  You must provide a complete
booth setup.
   Again this year, vendors will be allowed to setup and begin selling a day earlier.
   Smith said the charge for early setup (before 6pm Friday night) will be
$25.  Since the carnival plans to open a day earlier, there will be activities
again this year on Friday.
   For a vendor application and rules you can download the form on our
website at demingduckrace.com, or you can call (888) 345-1125 and an
application can be mailed or faxed.
   Spaces are first come, first serve, so get your application in as soon
as possible to assure your spot.
   For more information you can contact Smith at (505) 494-1002 or 
(505) 546-5216.
