While it’s not quite time to roll the credits (look for our big Thank You ad in the Gazette-Times post festival) it is high time we pause and give thanks to our many sponsors. They help us keep our event a FREE Admission festival!
Each year we receive anywhere between $50,000-$75,000 InKind from sponsor partners. Some are big corporations like Comcast and some small like 10 local dental offices that go together to help sponsor the Children’s Art Zone.
Kezi-9 and Comcast even partner together. Kezi creates our television ad spots for us to show all over the mid-Willamette Valley and south. They create an untagged version to go to Comcast for them to show in the Portland and Salem metro areas. Between the two of them ads of our annual art party in little old Corvallis, Oregon is broadcast to thousands of households around the state. Our local paper the G-T helps us produce a beautiful program filled with information about the festival. The law firm of Ringo, Stuber, Ensor and Hadlock has helped us print our posters for many years now and has a great collection of them in their offices.
Even though we received no financial assistance from the City of Corvallis this year, we still are receiving much inkind assistance from Parks and Recreation, the library, public transit, public works and many others. It all ads up to much savings in personnel and equipment rental costs.
Please take a minute to look at the sponsor banners hanging about the festival to see all of our many partners and then DO take the time to thank them next time you are in their business! Here’s a complete listing of sponsors.
