Columbus, OH — One of the benefits to being a USTA fair or qualifying track is free promotional material.

It was noticed after sending out the fair and qualifying track applications that there was confusion on requesting the quantity of free literature. Next to “free” on the application, please indicate how many packs of 50 of “A Winning Combination,” “What is the USTA?” and bumper stickers you want sent with your fair box.

Also, please be sure to include the complete physical address of the fairgrounds on your application. With the launch of the new fairs.ustrotting.com Web site in April, we want to include mapping functions that require complete addresses.

Membership applications were sent out the week of January 25, so all tracks should have received or will be receiving their applications soon.

Please contact Jessica Schroeder with any questions: jessica.schroeder@ustrotting.com or (877) 800-8782, ex. 3212.
