Fundraising Opportunity at
2018 Smoky Hill River Festival
(Salina, KS 02-18) The 42nd annual Smoky Hill River Festival is fast approaching! The Artyopolis children's area, a thriving metropolis of arts and entertainment, is looking for Game Street sponsors.
Non-profit and community groups looking for a new way to fund raise are invited to apply by Monday, March 12, 2018 to provide unique pay-to-play games for kids to enjoy daily from Friday through Sunday, June 8-10. For-profit businesses wishing to raise money for a non-profit group or charity also are encouraged to apply. Game Street features an exciting area with colorful, vibrant storefronts that resemble traditional downtown Main Street with a splash of color and whimsy.
Each Game Street sponsor will be provided with a painted storefront, a game space and a canopy, for its club or organization to run a game. Each time the game is played, your organization earns money! Game Street is located in a high-traffic section of Artyopolis. Each participating community organization gets to keep all the money made at its booth.
If you're interested in taking part in this fundraising opportunity, guidelines and applications are available online at riverfestival.com or can be requested by calling 785-309-5770 or emailing laurie.moravec@salina.org. Deadline to apply is Monday, March 12, 2018. River Festival staff has many game ideas and options to offer for those who may be interested in this revenue and awareness-generating activity that is part of River Festival weekend.
