STREET PERFOMERS NEEDED! Artistic Director, Valerie Marcley is delighted that so many performers have applied for inclusion in the August 20th Block Party. “The Steering Committee and I picture the street filled with entertainers. The stages are booked. We need acts that can stroll the street and entertain. Buskers, magicians, acoustic music, comedians, jugglers – you name it. I bet there are plenty of creative people in town that audiences would cheer! If you’ve got a street act, please email glostablockpahty@yahoo.com.”
THE ELUSIVE VOLUNTEER – The Block party had a few wonderful volunteers who helped beyond what was expected. We need more of you! Do a shift at the Info Table, sell raffle tickets or stage manage. All easy tasks, short shifts and time to enjoy the party yourself. Clean-up was not difficult, but we can use your help at the end of the night when the Main Street turns back into a tidy, dynamic business district. Vendors are also sought – sell your product, promote your business, inform audiences of your service.
RAFFLE – The 50/50 raffle funds the Block Party and the winner receives half the money raised. We need more sales to support the series. Some businesses have agreed to pre-party sales to help us. If you have any ideas to sell raffle tickets, or want to sell during the party, please contact: glostablockpahty@yahoo.com
SPONSORS – While we’re begging – would you or your business like to be a sponsor of the Downtown Gloucester Block Party series? For your generosity you would be included in promotional and publicity materials. Or you may remain anonymous. Email us at the given yahoo link and we’ll discuss your involvement.
THE JULY PARTY – Block Party Organizers received wonderful, encouraging feedback and suggestions from audiences, the City, stores, restaurants and performers. All are considered to make your next party even more successful. We are grateful to all: the acts that gave their talent free to help continue the party series, businesses, the City and the establishing committee – all so cooperative and supportive. Thank again! See you August 20th at 6 pm!
