Dear Community Partner,
Here at the Mateel Community Center, we’d just barely stopped shaking the snow from our boots when we found ourselves knee-deep in preparations for two other “forces of nature,” the Summer Arts & Music Festival June 4th & 5th, and Reggae on the River on July 16th & 17th.
The 35th Annual Summer Arts and Music Festival will host more than 100 local to international music and dance performances presented on four different stages; over 130 juried artisan and food booths; music and craft workshops; a lively 3-ring circus activity area for kids, martial arts demonstrations, storytelling and more. During the day a stream of characters including jugglers, unicyclists, stilt-walkers, clowns, giant puppets and kids of all ages spontaneously parade through the fairway for the amusement of all.
Revelers from far and wide come to enjoy the company of old friends and new, over California wines, micro-brews or soft drinks throughout the day. As night falls on both days, top featured acts perform under the bright lights of the main stage, with a sky full of stars above.
The following month, on July 16th and 17th, the magic returns to SoHum with a celebration of reggae and world music at the 27th Reggae on the River. For two days Benbow Lake State Recreation Area is transformed into an international village with performers from as far away as Jamaica, Africa and Europe and art and crafts from around the world.
As a sponsor of Summer Arts and Reggae, your support is invaluable toward keeping our programs for children, youth and the greater community alive and thriving. Proceeds from SAMF and ROTR support Recycled Youth, Missoula Children’s Theatre, Youth Alive, Mateel Aikido, A-Step Restaurant Skills Class, South Fork High School Drama, Mateel Meal, Monologues Project, and more. In turn, your business receives excellent exposure for your advertising dollar. Sponsor benefits offered include:
● A free ad in the full-color, multi-page, festival program guides; of which 25,000 will be distributed for each festival to key locations throughout the tri-county area, as well as inserted into the Redwood Times, Time-Standard and Willits News. (ROTR programs will be inserted into the SAMF guide in June and distributed again two weeks prior to ROTR and at the Festival).
● All sponsors will receive an invitation for 2 to the Friday night Welcome cocktail party at the Benbow Inn for sponsors, Board and staff only at 8 to 10pm.
● Top sponsors a free 2-night stay at either Benbow Inn or Best Western Humboldt House Inn on Friday and Saturday of festival weekend.
● Acknowledgements on the Mateel website and our festival radio ads on over 10 CA stations
● Your business banner placement on the front stage area
● Maximum “at event” sponsor acknowledgements through multiple Thank you announcements from all stages throughout the weekend
● Sponsor listing on the “Thank You Sponsors” page of the program guide
● VIP package: free admissions to the event(s) you sponsor; T-shirts; meal and beverage tickets; memberships and discounts on Mateel-sponsored events.
● Logo placement on our widely distributed event poster
