Oconto Falls Chamber Fun Fest is fast approaching

Good Afternoon Members:

The Oconto Falls Chamber Fun Fest is fast approaching and there are a few things that I think you would like to take advantage of regarding this event. Some of the things in the works are an Art Fair, Craft Fair, Children’s activities (bouncers, sidewalk art, face painting, youth football games), music by the band Diamond and Steel, various food tents, (Lions, Chili-Cookoff by OF Lionesses, Youth Football).  Panther Pride is putting together a walk/run for the 8th of September, and of course the city wide rummage sales.  We would also like to see participation from area businesses with sidewalk and store sales.

1.)     We are looking for Sponsorships for various events throughout the weekend.  Amounts in the past have varied from $50.00 to $1,000.00.

Please contact me if you have done this in the past or would like to start out with our new and improved Falls Fest!

2.)    One new item this year would be to put together a sheet of coupons from area businesses to be handed out in the local paper with the rummage sale ads as well as handed out at Memorial Field.  These coupons would not have to be good for just that weekend but perhaps other times as well to promote your business.  If you are interested in this aspect of the Fun Fest please contact me as soon as possible.  Space will be limited for these coupons.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
