KVMR Expands Its Relationship with the Area’s Non-Profits |
Strolling through the Medieval Celtic Festival Marketplace it’s hard to imagine ways of improving upon on it. Dozens of vendors, many dressed in authentic costume, transform Treat Street with booths selling hand-crafted items from leather goods to musical instruments and serving delicious food and spirits.
This year we are working with our vendors on a unique opportunity to support and expand relationships with the area’s many wonderful non-profits. We have asked our vendors to partner with a non-profit of their choice located in KVMR’s broadcast area spanning from Truckee/Tahoe to Sacramento/Fairfield. For vendors that would prefer KVMR pair them with an organization we will be collecting a list of non-profits.
We believe this replicates KVMR’s mission of building community by bringing people together to celebrate the music of the world and give voice to the community. It is also a way we can help the non-profit organizations in the area and make an impact in the community. |

Don’t Forget to Bring Your Re-Usable Water Bottle |
| For the second year in a row, the Celtic Festival has partnered with Coolerzone to help “green” the festival. The Coolerzone Waterzone will feature several water filtration coolers allowing festival attendees to fill their re-usable water bottles and help the festival end the use of plastic water bottles. |
