WBA-Retail: Today's meeting

[Mary Morris [Woodsum Art Gallery]]

We have finalized our Spring Event...
Saturday, May 17
Spring into Warner!
Artist/Artisan Demonstrations hosted by Main Street Businesses
Floral Arrangements by Area Florists
Children's Activities
and more......
We decided that we would concentrate on one weekend day, and see how it goes.  There are already 6 businesses that will host artists.  Essentially, it is up to the artist and the business to decide how and where to set up, but we think it will work well along Main Street.  We are thinking of having a schedule of times for various demonstrations throughout the day and children's activities, such as sidewalk chalk drawing at the telephone museum parking lot, a one day book sale on the library lawn, and there's lots more that we can do that will fit in with this idea.
The businesses hosting artists are:
Wingdoodle
Woodsum
Telephone Museum
Country CobWebs
White Mtn Gourmet Coffee
The Maples Inn
We will do a similar ad campaign, with a similar amount per business.  Paid advertisers will be listed in the ad.  The ad may well look like a map with locations highlighted for the various events and artist hosting.    We are looking for ideas to promote this day.  We would love someone to help with writing press releases to go out prior to the day to get some attention from area papers.  
We really need your input and help to make this work, so please make a note to come to the next meeting and be part of the fun, and get people interested in coming to Warner!!
MONDAY March 17 at 8:30 White Mtn Gourmet Coffee
