Wren's research results:: aka, fairs and ads...

hi all!
i just did a little research to follow up on a few things we discussed yesterday:

first, i looked into eugene weekly ad space (via their website). there are two types of ads offered- display ads and classified display ads. the least expensive display ad is $179 for one week, and is 1/12 of a page! yikes! the least expensive classified display ad is $70 for one week, and is 1/32 of a page- better in price, but fairly small. if we were doing an event or something, and had enough people to chip in, the display ad might be feasible, but definitely not at this point!

second, i checked into the spring street faire. it's a good thing i did too, because the application is due march 20th (tuesday). that is probably cutting it a little close, but here's the info: it runs from wednesday, may 2nd through friday may 4th (10-5). a 10x10 space is $125 for all 3 days, a 10x20 space is $250, a table outside is $75. the website said spaces are limited, they expect it to sell out early, and to send in the application and fees asap. it didn't mention anything about sharing, so it seems like that would be fine. it's usually nice weather then, so a table might work with a canopy thing... i would love to do this if others want to work together/chip in/share, so email me (wbirdy@gmail.com) with your thoughts- since we need to apply asap.

third, as i mentioned last night, anyone who is interested in being involved with the pdx street team's fair this spring needs to send a convo to urbana on etsy. she needs your: username, full name, phone number(s), city you live in (duh!), and amount of space you require.

okay! that's a lot of info, hope it helps! lets get on this street faire thing!
