Ticket sales and event sponsors mostly, we advertise heavily on various radio stations and some wide coverage news papers. having your event on the same weekend every year helps a lot as your established fan base knows when its happening without needing a reminder? social media is used a lot but cant be the only avenue for advertising?

two words...."social media"....quite easy now to find an opinion that you want to agree with? In the past you had traveling road shows that came to town? people either listened to them or ran them out of town..I dont know how this thing will finally play out? but we can be certain there will be many history books wrote detailing this carnival

Speaking as a promoter for our fair pull second week in august. event not looking too hopeful? as others said, sponsorship is what most events live or die by? and with most businesses on lock down or even shut down? there just wont be any spare change to offer? the expenses involved with putting on a pull are huge! have to ask ourselves? if you were without most of your normal income for most of
