Support the 5th Annual Historic Roser Park Art Festival

As November draws near, we start gearing up for one of Roser Park's biggest events of the year, the Art Festival! Every year has been growing and with more artists and vendors, more performers and an even bigger crowd expected.
This is one weekend when businesses, large and small, can definitely benefit from getting their name out there (through the ads on major papers, mention on the blog, announcements and handouts during the event).

If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a sponsor of the Art Festival, just click on the sponsorship form, print it out and send it to Catherine Nivens (mailing address on the form itself).

We thank you in advance for the continuous support you have given the Historic Roser Park Neighborhood. By the way, proceeds of the event goes to the preservation of the neighborhood and to a local neighborhood charity.

PS. We encourage ALL our RP residents to try and solicit sponsorships as well from people and businesses you know. The success of the event is just as much each resident's as we try to showcase our uniquely beautiful historic neighborhood to people from all over who come for the event.
