Fall Festival Declared Successful!
At least those who were able to attend said so! I spent the day working in Denver, texting friends and Facebook marketing for those who were marketing something special at the Festival. And working… There is that scenario that says one shall accomplish great things on Saturday, because it comes before Sunday and REST. I held onto that scenario. As reports began to arrive, “Someone said they saw my book on Facebook and came by the store to get one autographed.” “Do you realize that more than half of the people in my store at one point had seen the Fall Festival announced on Facebook?” “I’m really liking the social media thing… my customers mentioned that they were reminded to attend the fall festival by a tweet on twitter.” “I wonder who was marketing my business on Facebook and Twitter?

Sidewalk Sales Saturday in Lamar, Colorado
Sidewalk Sales in front of sidewalk sales that front the shops downtown. Local store owner, Carol Owens, from Country Treasures on South Main sent a message, “Getting ready for side walks sales tomorrow. Oris George will be here signing his book, Along the Back Roads of Yesterday. Lia Sophia jewelry and samples of the dips and mixes I carry will be on display.” Knowing Carol is setting out sidewalk displays, means all the other downtown stores are gathering up tables and specials to put out for the many folks visiting for Sand and Sage Fair and the World Series 2011, both in town over this weekend. Don’t miss the fun. Schedules will be available during the parade and after at local merchants, or visit the Prowers County Fair Grounds for readily available schedules and times. Sand and Sage Fair Parade will be August 13, 10 AM. (Thanks for the correction Garry!) Sponsored by:
