showing the contestants’ official photos and their booth
numbers. Leaflets containing information of the
contestants were also produced and distributed to every
visitor. In the four-day Exhibition, visitors were very
enthusiastic in voting for their ideal Miss Exhibition.
Many of them even took photos with the contestants and
asked for their signatures.
