Dear Local Businesses,

October Festival 2019 planning is already underway and this year’s event will be bigger, better, and hopefully warmer than last year’s! A variety of activities from horse-drawn wagon rides and kids’ activities, to live music and a magic show will be offered free of charge. Additional activities will be available at an affordable cover charge. Our goal is to make the Warroad October Festival a first-class, regional event that people will want to attend year after year. To do this requires a significant investment to bring in well-known talent, entertainment, and fun for all ages!  

We are seeking business sponsorships to bring our vision of October Festival to fruition. We have established a tiered program with an eye toward value and meaningful recognition for your business. Please click here to view the sponsorship tier form for details as you consider how your business might support this event.

Sponsorship pledges can be submitted to the Warroad Chamber of Commerce and must be received by Friday, September 20th.

You can support the festival in more ways than just financially!

• Get your employees excited about participating in the Pumpkin Carving and Scarecrow Competitions and submit entries from your business, or a department within your business!  
• Rally your coworkers to compete against one another in Cornhole or summon your collective strength for the Steinholding Competition.
• Don t-shirts emblazoned with your business logo and sign up as a group to volunteer for the children’s tent, concessions, or various other areas at the event or help with the setup/teardown prior to and following the event.

We also want to encourage you to take advantage of the excitement surrounding October Festival and promote your business. We are designing this event to be a regional draw, hopefully for both day-trippers and over-nighters! With more people out and about, we want you to be aware of the opportunity to market yourself!

Additional questions may be referred to Sarah Homme at 218-242-2655 or hommesarah@gmail.com.

Be on the lookout for more October Festival communications as we continue to find ways to promote our local businesses.  Thank you in advance for considering a sponsorship for the 2019 October Festival! 

Sincerely,

October Festival Planning Committee
