The Giving Hope Foundation, Inc. will be hosting the second annual Nelson Community Day.  We are excited to celebrate all things uniquely Nelson!  The 2013 Nelson Community Day will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at the Oak Ridge Estate Race Track.      

            You are cordially invited to be an exhibitor, vendor or sponsor at this event.  We would like to show the public what Nelson County has to offer by showcasing our local businesses, organizations, churches, and other clubs. Enclosed you will find our exhibitor’s registration form. We request that everyone provide a “draw” to the public in order to attract attendees to your booth. This could be a free sample, a raffle, or a demonstration or activity. If you need help coming up with creative ideas please contact our committee! 

The purpose of this event is to: 

• Inform the public about local businesses, organizations, churches, agencies, etc.
• Increase sales for local businesses and memberships for organizations
• Bring members of the community together for fun and fellowship
• Fundraising event for the Giving Hope Foundation to support the needs of cancer patient’s right here in Nelson. 

       This event will be reminiscent of old-time county fairs. We will have a mixture of exhibitors and vendors. A “marketplace” will be set up for local artisans and vendors to sell their wares.  We will have a designated children’s area with activities and exhibits of interest to children and their parents.  We will have a variety of wineries and breweries. Throughout the day there will be featured performances by musicians, and entertainers.   

Admission to this event will be a donation of canned-goods for Nelson’s Food Pantry. Additionally, a suggested donation of $5.00 per vehicle for parking and $20 suggested donation for tastings at the winery and brewery exhibits.  All proceeds from the Nelson Community Day will benefit a local non-profit organization, Giving Hope Foundation, Inc.  This organization supports cancer patients who are in need and live in Nelson County.  If you are interested in sponsoring the event please see the enclosed sponsorship form and contact Sheila Layton at (434) 277-9409 to find out which levels of sponsorship are still available. 

We look forward to seeing you at this event!

Sincerely,

Susan K. Stevens
