LETTER FROM ZEN FEST
Thank you for your interest in ZenFestival, a community based event featuring holistic and alternative practitioners, natural and handmade
products, artisans, crafts, live music, and much more.
Our intention in creating ZenFestival is to bring awareness, connection, and learning to our community, and for people to discover the different services offered by our local businesses and entrepreneurs. A selection process is in place to not only ensure all vendors align with
ZenFestival’s vision, but provide the community with a wide variety of experiences, opportunities, entertainment, products, and services.
Vendors are asked to bring their own tent (if required), table, and supplies. Set-up will take place between 9 and 10 AM, with tear-down
scheduled for 7 PM. Hydro is not provided on site.
The Dorion Centre will be open for use of the bathrooms.
Tables are $125, with a non-refundable deposit of $50 to hold your space.
The balance will be due one month prior the event.
This is a free event to attend, however, we will be asking the community to
provide food and/or monetary donations to the David Busby Centre.
Thank you again for your interest! ZenFestival is unique to Barrie and we’re excited for our wonderful community to experience it.

I’ve attached a flyer which has more details. Additionally, please visit our website for a complete list of cities and dates, http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/auditions. For more information on how to prepare for auditions, reference our Cheat Sheet, https://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/blog/audition-cheat-sheet.In helping spread the word to the wide community of entrepreneurs, I’m hopeful you could post this on your website, or send it out to your mailing list to let all aspiring entrepreneurs know about the upcoming auditions and their chance to get a national audience and valuable investment! Feel free to use any of the material I’ve provided.

Please let me know if you are able to send out this information to your members and community.

Hi everyone

Note: Due to poor weather, we are holding the GV After 5 Networking meeting on Zoom (email patricia@growvantage.com for the Zoom link)

We’re talking about video at next Tuesday’s GV After 5 (and doing some interviews for the GV YouTube site/Facebook page about your business).

We are having our monthly GV After 5 at Suite Success (411 Huronia Road at Big Bay Point).

We’re hoping to have 2 of our experts there to talk to…. Ian McIntosh (GV35) who teaches the video class, and James Martin (GV46) Magic Cut Media & Promotion (who is currently doing the video profiles of the Women in Business Finalists).

We are also making an announcement that day about a new collaboration with another organization who is developing a communications channel for GVers!

I’d like to put out a media release to encourage media to attend (more possible exposure):

Please RSVP to patricia@growvantage.com – and also let me know if you are going to be there and if would like to schedule an interview!

Thanks!
