To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Ben Slagle, President of Howdy Neighbor Days Committee, which organizes Pierce City “Howdy Neighbor Days - Festival”, (a Non-Profit Organization registered with State of Missouri, Tax ID #19221517, Federal ID #81-0643816 & DLN #504135006).

The committee consists of a group of volunteers from the community, which relies on Donations to fund the festival. The Festival held yearly in August, is outside with a tent covering the stage with top of line sound system furnished by BackStreet Music for the entertainment, and approximately 15-30,000 in attendance each year. The 2008 Festival will be August 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd.

This Request is in hopes of gaining sponsorship to cover entertainment for this year’s festival.

Any Donation or Sponsorship will be accepted, we are looking for sponsorship to cover the entertainment, which consists of the following: Mr. legs Contest - $50, Kids Got Talent - $200, Mark Chapman Band - $2000, HND IDOL Contest - $500, Ben Miller Band - $800, Bathtub Races - $100, Outlaw Junkies - $2500, Sound System - $4500 (all four days), along with general expenses for Lighting, Port-A-Pots and misc.

T-SHIRTS and STARS on our Bridge at $50 per spot.

Our Bridge is the Gateway For Neighbors To Meet Neighbors. The Festival is held in the City’s South Park and uses adjacent St. Mary’s Church property for parking along with additional booths. It provides for a real festive atmosphere. We strive to plan and execute a Festival that all will enjoy, along with giving area non-profit groups a chance to set-up fund raising booths to help their cause. That in mind we are asking for help from all our neighbors with donations/sponsorships to make the Festival a success.

We have scheduled a full slate of events for all four nights. Which includes a Big Carnival, Crafts, Entertainment, Food & Game booths both commercial & local organizations. The local Knights of Columbus provide a Beer Garden on St. Mary’s properity, along with Masonic Lodge Barbeque Ribs.
