The addition of a local business sponsor made the festival a true community event. In addition to the Recreation Department sending out 14,000 flyers to the local schools, Coldwell Banker also distributed flyers to new home buyers and local businesses around the Stagecoach area to promote this event. Overall the festival attracted an estimated 1,500 families. A letter of appreciation has been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department to Coldwell Banker and their employees. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact to the general fund. The merchandise donations and volunteer hours offset the cost of the event and contribute to its popularity.
