“Art Wine and Chocolate”
Saturday, October 2, 2010
11 am – 5 pm
Welcome to The Waterfront Festival featuring “Art Wine and Chocolate” at the Historic Suisun Waterfront……. October 2nd is going to be a “happening spot” at the beautiful waterfront and you are cordially invited to be part of the fun! This is the 5th year for “Art Wine Chocolate” and 2010 promises to be the best yet! The event will feature unique hand-crafted wares…..no commercial vendors allowed. About 15 wineries, and 15 chocolatiers will participate. The Waterfront Festival also hosts a bake-off and children’s activities and features live music center stage. It promises to be a fun family event, with something for everyone to enjoy!
Visitors look forward to browsing the artisan booths set up along the beautiful waterfront and enjoying samples of chocolate. Wine tasting, along with a commemorative wine glass, is available for a fee.
The event has been very popular and attendance last year was estimated at 4000 – 5000. There will be repeat visitors and a lot of advertising as well in local print media and radio announcements. The event is listed at many online “Events” sites and you can help get the word out at your shows and via Facebook, Twitter or however you keep in contact with your customers, friends and family.
10,000 color postcards are being printed to promote the show………You will each get a packet of postcards to hand out at your summer shows and to your existing customers, etc. About 5000 postcards will go out as an insert in the local newspaper the Wednesday before the event to communities around the area. This is a very effective way to invite new people to come.
Cost for 10’ x 10’ space is $100 postmarked before Sept 1 or $125 postmarked after Sept 1. You can post-date your check and I will deposit it in September. Each vendor will provided their own 10’ x 10’ canopy, tables, table coverings and chairs, etc.
To reserve your space, please return the registration form with your check. Jewelry is by far the most popular category and fills up quickly.
Questions? Please don’t hesitate to call with any questions about the show or with ideas on how to make the show better……It is YOUR show. My goal is for everyone to be successful and for “Art Wine and Chocolate” to be a show artisans and shoppers look forward to!
I hope you are having a great event season and you will add the Oct 2.……“Art Wine and Chocolate” to your itinerary! Thank you for your consideration and support.
