Denver Old House Fair
March 27, 2010 - Denvers
Old House Society
Denver’s beloved old neighborhoods are full
of charm and represent more
than 100,000 homeowners. Denver’s Old House
Society aims to protect these
communities and educate the people living in them
about how to care for
their old houses (50 years or older) while maintaining
the original
character with which they were built.
The Denver Old House Society hosts many events. We
are now looking for
sponsors for our 4th Annual Old House Fair. This fair
gives local
businesses the opportunity to create a strong image
in Denver’s classic
neighborhoods and to brand themselves as leading companies.
This is your
chance to reach a targeted audience interested in
your products and
services.
The event will be widely publicized and your business
has the opportunity
to be a part of it as a sponsor. The Denver Old House
Society has a large
following and introduces homeowners to different ways
to take care of
their properties. Your business can be introduced
to these people, too,
allowing your clientele to grow. We have a number
of sponsorship packages
with the society or the Fair to fit your budget and
marketing needs.
The Fair will take place on Saturday, March 27, 2010
offering workshops
from experts on how to improve the safety, functionality,
and appeal of
older homes. Vendors will have booths to showcase
products and services to
more than 500 attendees
New this year will be various retail vignette areas
boasting the latest
and greatest in design for Victorians, Bungalows,
Denver Squares, Tudors
and Mid-century Modern homes. From fancy lace items
for a Queen Anne to
shiny chrome wares for the Ranch will be for sale.
Best regards,
Suzanne Dupée Minear, AIA Elizabeth J. Wheeler
Board Chair Executive Director
