2016 Fowlerville Family Fair Sponsorship Package

February 3, 2015
Dear Community Member;
The Fowlerville Family Fair is Livingston County’s largest community event. Annually it attracts approximately 40,000 people. The 2015 fair will be celebrating 129 years of continual efforts. Showing your support by becoming a sponsor has its advantages. It is a perfect way to reach the community and increase sales, create awareness and most importantly enhance your public image.
The Fair is important to many people throughout the county, from the 4-H members, who spend
much of the year preparing projects and raising animals, to the families who make memories to last
a lifetime. It also is important to local and corporate businesses who participate and partner with
the fair.
We hope you take this opportunity to participate in the rich history and bright future of the Fowlerville Family Fair. A representative of the fairgrounds will be following up soon to go over all options
available.
Thank you in advanced for your support, and we look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Rhodes
Office Manager
