This May 31st, June 1st, the Mateel Community Center plans to ring in the season with our 32nd anniversary celebration, of the Summer Arts & Music Festival at Benbow Lake. SAMF consistently attracts over 10,000 people to our area throughout the weekend. Last year we featured over 120 acts on 4 stages, more than 120 craft and food booths, a fine arts display, workshops, demonstrations, parades, a variety of fun activities for children, fantastic food and regionally made beers, wine and beverages. As Humboldt County's premier celebration of music and the arts, SAMF is an excellent venue for businesses to get maximum exposure for their advertising. As a sponsor, in addition to the knowledge that your support is helping to make this great family event possible, you will receive:

* Free advertising for your business in 18,000 copies of the multi-page, festival program guide, (which will be distributed to key locations throughout the tri-county area as well as inserted into the two local papers, The Independent and the Redwood Times
* Opportunities for acknowledgement on our TV ads and radio ads on over 10 northern CA stations, and on our website.
* Maximum "at event" exposure including multiple "Thank you announcements" from the stage throughout the weekend, and stategically placed signage and banner opportunities
* Sponsor listing in the program guide
* VIP package including free admissions to this event, T-shirts, free MCC memberships, discounts to Mateel-sponsored events and more
* Meal and beverage tickets for the event
* Logo placement on our posters which will be distributed widely throughout northern California

We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity to receive excellent exposure for your business, while supporting SAMF. Because this event attracts many families, we keep our admission cost low.
As the expenses of putting an event of this magnitude increase however, sponsorships play a very important role in its success. On the following pages you will find a list of sponsorship package choices, or I'd be happy to tailor a package to your needs and interests. Come join us on May 31st & June 1st the 32nd Summer Arts and Music Festival at Benbow Lake.
