WINTER FOLK FEST UPDATE! After class today, I had fun exploring Winnipeg and meeting tons of nice people while braving the cold to put up Portage la Prairie Winter Folk Fest posters across the city with festival coordinator Linda Omichinski - what an adventure! So much interest from people regarding the folk fest, too! Millennium Library will distribute 21 posters across Winnipeg, four radio stations are considering airing interviews regarding our folk fest, and one interested Winnipeg newspaper has requested an interview! We are requesting a televised interview and artist feature with Breakfast Television and will approach Global/CTV/CBC as February 8 draws near! Today, we were able to target three key areas in Winnipeg - Downtown Walkway System/Exchange District, Wolseley, and Osborne Village - over a period of 8 1/2 hours, hitting stores and coffee shops along the way! Wolseley was the nicest neighbourhood by far - every establishment we stopped at let us put up posters - a local dive bar (which is a musical entertainment hub in Wolseley) even let us stick a poster right on their front door! I tackled the U of M tunnels back in December, and a friend of mine will flood the U of W with posters later this month! Linda Omichinski and other folk fest volunteers passionately put up over 100 posters in Portage la Prairie and surrounding communities! Our social media presence; temporary website; online ticketing website; event profiles on PortageOnline, Travel Manitoba, and Manitoba Music; various articles published in newspapers; CBC Radio Noon promo; circulation on music-related e-newsletters; and some promotion by Winnipeg Folk Festival is creating momentum and a buzz is beginning to happen! Whether we get 50 people or 400 people to come to the 2015 Winter Folk Fest, everyone in attendance will have a real blast! Winter Folk Fest is sure to become a renowned Portage la Prairie event and a highlight of the Manitoba music scene! This promotion is so great for Portage la Prairie and Trinity United Church!! Cant wait for February 8, which is now 32 days away! If you havent yet got your tickets but would like to, you can do so anytime! #PWFF2015 #meltthewinterblues winterfolkfest2015.bpt.me
