Vancouver Buskers Festival

This weeks speaker was Mike and Nick.    Two buskers.

They are promoting the Vancouver International Buskers Festival.  June 29th to July 1st. her in Vancouver.

They requested and have been given Granville Mall area from Robson to Smithe street.  A great location.

This is a three day festival and could be a great success.  What they really need is promotion to get the people to come out to watch.

Big crowds are self generating as people see a crowd gathering and want to watch more but what they need is publicity.

They have several sponsors currently like metro News, the paper but what they really need is a co-ordinating sponsor to organise the opening Gala.

Could Rotary take this challenge on?

This is the second year now and their experience from last year was they need more publicity.

People will come if they know about it.

250,000 people came out last year so this is a great opportunity if we decide to take them up on it.

If not we could just be a sponsor for their program.  A program sponsor.

The speakers were thanked by the President.
