Coudersport in Potter County. Middle of the state about 20 min from the NY state border. An hour from any Walmart and 2 1/2 hours from any decent shopping. The County's nickname is "God's Country", very rural.
OH!! and if you have ever heard about Adelphia or the Rigas's, well that corporate scandal happened here.

End of hijack!!
 
Great flyer.

What are you giving as a prize/prizes?
 
I have a bunch of stock items and was thinking about a Chinease Auction, but I decided against it. I am going to raffle off FREE shows and GC's I think
 
I am doing a First Chance Last Glance I had sent out invites and running an ad I am giving away a basket of products for every show they book they get their name in 3 times and for every 60.00 they purchase they get their name in too. Going to have discontinued items and new products and I will have some refreshments. I am thinking it is going to go over good.

where and what did you put in your ad?
 
I love this!!! I will be borrowing this idea...Thanks!!!
 
Thanks Chris for the flyer...great idea. I'm still learning acronyms used on CS, so what is GC??
 
I am doing a mystery host/fall kick off show in September, but am having trouble with a flyer. I like your's Chris :)
 
I don't know what a GC is either ... gift certificate??We are doing a kickoff like that ... but it is in September ... I like it but will have to modify it.
 
I loved this idea...I usually do something like it for my past hosts in February, but have been noodling around with the idea of something for guests...so I took the idea from Chris (thank you, Chris) and changed it up a bit.

I decided I still want to make it a little exclusive, so like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I'm printing up a "golden ticket"-like invitation to send to all my guests from the past year who have "earned" the Guest Special.

So here's my take on it :)
