Maple Grove Days boasts business opportunities

The festival offers three opportunities for businesses, churches and organization to join the festivities, the Business Expo, silent auction or sidewalk sales around Maple Grove.

The Business Expo is the perfect setting to meet the citizens of Maple Grove and surrounding communities as well as share information, flyers, samples all promoting your business. The Expo has a wide variety of vendors promoting themselves; store front, health, banking, building, home-based, church, political, community organizations and more. The Business Expo is Saturday, July 14, at the Maple Grove Community Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Last year over 8,000 patrons visited more than 130 booths. Each vendor is requested to provide freebies for the children. Music echoes through the halls as the "Medicine Show" entertains both visitors and vendors.

MGCO would like to promote the community by adding the participation of local businesses to the festival with a Citywide Maple Grove Days Sidewalk Sales Friday, July 13. There is not fee to participate in the Maple Grove Days Sidewalk Sales and people do not need to let MGCO know if they decide to participate. However, if participating, a business would need to abide by all guidelines established by any individual management companies; state and local health permits and Maple Grove City Code.

The "Showcase" silent auction offers one more way to join the community festival. The auction offers an inexpensive and relatively simple way for a business to support Maple Grove Days as well as promoting a business. Donors and items will be listed on the "Showcase" page of the website as well as at the community center prior to the festival. Auction booth will be available for bids July 14. To become a donor of the auction or for more information contact Todd at toddb@jurrens.com

Auction and other events will be promoted in the Maple Grove Days guide (30,000 copies distributed) as well as all other publications promoting the festival, encouraging patrons to visit the website (maplegrovedays.org) for more information.
