My name is Amber and I am the event coordinator for Friends of The Foss (FoF). I am reaching out to you because I wanted to share this exciting opportunity with you. We are rolling out our 2nd Annual Foss Waterfront Concert Festival Series and this year we have decided to add arts and crafts vendors. Our plan is to start May off with 20 vendors and then gradually build up the event by adding 10 more vendors each month until our final concert in the series in August which will end with 50 vendors. In addition to a free public concert, we will have roaming entertainment (magician, clown, and others), free hot dogs and popcorn, puppet shows, the reptile man, bliss ice cream, face painting, children's museum interactive kid zone, chalk art and so much more. We would love to invite you to be a part of our vision for this year's event. Last year this event was the recipient of both the Innovative grant and a Sparks grant and was mentioned on a local radio station and on multiple different organizations newsletters and social media platforms. To give you an idea of the scope of last years event I am including some attachments and links. My hopes is this view at last years events helps you have a base to build from when envisioning what this year's event will look like. I am so excited and hope to spark that excitement in you too! YouTube video of last years event: https://youtu.be/0o_nb0l90j0<https://youtu.be/0o_nb0l90j0> TV12 coverage of last years event: https://youtu.be/1yGkIJo8HIc The 2019 series Events are on the 3rd Sunday of the month from May-August and each event runs from Noon to 4 pm. Booths are $60.00 per event unless you choose multiple dates. 1- date = $60.00 2- dates = $110 3 - dates = $160 All four = $200.00 You must have your own vendor's event insurance. If you do not I can help you locate some low cost insurance.
