1.     How many people do you anticipate will be attending this event? Is there any cost to them?

In 2011 we welcomed an estimated 1,500, and we hope to increase that number in 2012! Advanced tickets can be purchased online for $40 each, two for $65, or $50 at the door.

2.     How will this event be advertised to the community? What publicity can my company expect?

Promotion is key to a successful event! We will work with local newspapers, take in kind advertising sponsorships and incorporate social media in our advertising campaign. We will send postcard save the date cards to our supporters typically one month before the event, and follow up with an active email campaign. Radio advertising will be running through Real Radio, and each restaurant will be a marketing partner by inviting their patrons to join us! Banners will be placed prominently throughout Stuart and Palm City and traffic signs will be running the day of and the day before the event at the traffic circle on Murphy Road and High Meadows.

If you have a specific marketing request or idea, please reach out to us and let us know- we are always open to new ideas!

3.       I understand that there is a minimum donation requirement of $50.00 in the form of gift certificate, basket or like item. Will the donation be raffled or auctioned off? If yes, where and when?

Items will be auctioned and/or raffled off. Items will be grouped into baskets, unless a restaurant has a preference that their item stand alone and has significant value.

4.       Other than our participation, providing culinary dishes in “Taste” formats, utensils, cooking or warming equipment, paper goods and a minimum donation of $50.00, is there any additional fees or costs that will be imposed upon us?

No fees! We just want lots of great food and fun.

5.       Will booths or table numbers be provided in advance should an establishment choose to promote this event prior and in addition to yours?

We will provide participants with a schematic two weeks before the event, however locations are subject to change. We will also have a banner ad available for websites and promotional materials restaurants can hand out at their locations.

6.       What size signage will be provided to participants?

Banners can be hung from the 6′ tables and we will have space on the website for any participating restaurant’s logos with links to their sites.

7.       How is the booth or table location determined?

There will be one big tent for all restaurants, so no location will be much better than another as far as exposure. Logistical issues will be taken into consideration (i.e.: power supply requests, ice, etc.), so be sure we know of any special requests!

8.       I understand that a 6 foot table will be provided. We may require electrical and additional tables. Will this be provided at no additional cost?

Unfortunately, we are only able to provide the single table at no cost. In addition, you must let us know if you require more room so we can plan accordingly. Please contact our offices for pricing information for additional items. We will provide a generator with electrical access which each vendor may use, but only one extension cord and outlet will be provided. We suggest bringing as many extension cords and switches as might be required.
