Fox River took into consideration green environmental practices for this 20'x30' exhibit, which it used at a recent Outdoor Retailer Show. A water-based wood stain made with low VOCs was used to finish the exhibit. The exhibit features cork for the floor and walls. The cork oaks thrive and regenerate, while never being cut down, which makes them completely sustainable. To represent the Midwest where Fox River socks are knitted and where the natural corn crop starch used for the socks is made, a silo is featured at the center of the exhibit.. The silo was built from recyclable rhythm board. This exhibit was created for Fox River by MG Design (www.mgdesign.com), a Pleasant Prairie, WI-based exhibit firm.
