Choice Greetings;

Give Us a Whirl with the Great White Squirrel
We would like to invite you to participate in an exciting event that takes place every fall right here in Marionville. It is called “Marionville Applefest!” Each year, this family event brings to our
town families from around the state and even outside of Missouri.
As you read through this packet, there are three reasons why we
would like you to consider coming along side of us in putting this event together. First of all, it is a great family event. It is a place where parents can bring their kids for an enjoyable time. Booths for people selling their wares, area for children to play with their friends, parade, entertainment and much more. When you have an ad, become a sponsor or hosting a booth for selling your product, you are assisting us in making this event a success.
Second, the exposure you will get from an ad, sponsorship or hosting a booth will help you get your business in front of more people. It is people like you that help us keep this event going in a fun yet productive way for our community and our sponsors like you.
Last but not least. There are not a lot of special occasions, events or activities for the family these days. Your involvement helps us create a great environment for your family as well as others, that is clean as well as fun. As you view this packet, you will find several ways you can be involved.
First of all, you can place an ad in our Applefest publication giving you exposure into the community and surrounding area. There are 2500 books printed for this event.
Second, you will find an application for hosting a booth that you can sell or promote your product and or your business.
Last, but not least, you can become a sponsor that is a way to financially tells us your behind what we are doing. We have some who have done all three or even two. No matter what you choose, we can be a blessing to you as you bless us with your financial support.
