Evergreen Elk & Arts Fest - A Fall Festival

Where is the site of the festival?  

The  location is in the Evergreen North parking lot which looks directly  over Evergreen Parkway (CO 74), the main thoroughfare serving  Evergreen.  We borrowed the address from one of the business there so  you can Google it: 3719 Evergreen Pkwy, Evergreen, CO 80439.

Is the show a "block off the streets" event, in a park, or other? 

This is a "block off the streets" event in a great parking lot with high visibility.

When do we need to be all packed up and gone on Sunday?  

9 pm Sunday night.

"Is there any money back guarantee if for some reason the shows are shut down due to COVID 19?"

In  2020, CCM Events was still able to hold art festivals even amidst the  COVID situation. Safety protocols and distanced booths resulted in  fantastic shows: the health officials approved our approach, patrons  attended and were buying, and artists made money!

We learned a lot last year. Being one of the only promoters in  Colorado to successfully hold multiple events, our extensive experience  in this "new normal" predicts great success for the 2021 season.
Once  you have been accepted to our shows, we have a no refund policy.  However, if you stick with us to the point that a government agency  shuts us down for any reason, we will give you your money back for that  show.

"Is there any money back guarantee if for some reason the shows are shut down due to weather?"

In  Colorado, we deal with all manner of weather. We proceed with our  events regardless. If however there is weather that is threatening to  artists or patrons, we may call off a day of a show or we may call a  show over early. This does not constitute a refund of any funds to  artists.

Do you have a version of the application you could email me or do  you have another way to get the application? 

 Just give me a call. 3033245956

What type of over night security will you be providing? 

Professional, licensed, and insured security person will be on site all night.

Where will patrons park?

There is parking behind the complex (pretty big lot) that I will be  using for artist and customer parking. For Saturday customer parking,  the CPA next to The Bank Of The West is not open on Saturday so  negotiating using their lot as well as negotiating with Bank Of The West  since they are open only until noon Saturday. For Sunday, both of those  plus the post office is not open either. That is 3 lots for customers.  Closest parking will depend on show layout and applications which of  course I am working on. 

A promoter's first responsibility is to bring patron's to the show. We at CCM Events take this responsibility very earnestly. Your success is what makes a show grow and thrive. We wanted to share how we will accomplish that first responsibility.

About the Canyon Courier -  In October 1958, under editor and publisher Vern Manning, Smoke Signals  became the Canyon Courier, an independent weekly newspaper. The Courier  started with an ambitious goal: covering all news “from U.S. 40 on the  north to Bailey and beyond on the south, and from Mount Evans to the  east Jefferson County line.”

No one could have predicted in the late ’50s how Evergreen and that  entire area would grow in population, until finally many mountain  communities had distinct identities and sizable populations of their  own.

Today, the Courier focuses more tightly on the Evergreen area, which  has grown to become a large, thriving and economically diverse  community. Our three sister newspapers — the High Timber Times  (Conifer), the Clear Creek Courant (Clear Creek County) and the  Columbine Courier (South Jeffco) — now report on many of the areas that  the original Canyon Courier sought to cover.

Our goal as newspapers remains the same, however: unite our communities  with a reliable and local source of information, advertising and — now —  online content.

*** 250 11” x17” full color posters distributed throughout the County via CCM personnel.

*** Press releases to newspapers: The Denver Post, the High Timber Times  (Conifer), the Clear Creek Courant (Clear Creek County) and the  Columbine Courier (South Jeffco) 

*** Press releases to Denver Radio & Television Networks.

*** Facebook promoted posts – all week of the festival.

*** Lastly, is our  secrecy weapon… The Art Festival Shopping Spree. We have used this  marketing for the past 6 years at The Lake Dillon Arts Festival and it has been a huge success. The core idea of the promotion is that posters  and flyers for an event often get ignored or thrown away. But if you are  handed an 8"x 3" full color ticket that could be worth $1000, most  likely you will keep it. Not only will you keep it but you most likely  will come to the event to see if you win. Last year in Dillon that  certainly was the case. Of the 5000 tickets printed for The Lake Dillon  Arts Festival, 2700.
