Christmas Photo Backdrops & Santa Photos – Information for Exhibitors
Santa’s Christmas Elf (Diane Keith) will be setting up two Christmas-themed photo backdrops in the show barn, located out of the main traffic areas. These backdrops are separate from the champion backdrop, and exhibitors are welcome to use either or both for photos.
A selection of props will be available for use, including a wreath, festive beads with sleigh bells, Santa glasses, garland, antlers, and more. You are also welcome to bring your own props.
Santa Photos: Santa will be available for photos on both show days during designated time slots only. For photos that do not require Santa, you may stop by during regular show hours, or before/after the show, to take your pictures.
There is no limit to the number of people or goats in a photo. Creative ideas are encouraged! Some suggestions include:
• “Crazy Christmas” photos with lights and decorations for both goats and humans
• A child reading The Night Before Christmas to a goat
A goat posing inside a wreath • Fun holiday pajamas—human or goat-sized (we have small “goatie jammies” available) Feel free to be festive and have fun with it. We look forward to helping you capture great holiday photos!
