The Florida Highwaymen Summer Art Show & Sale is just around the corner on August 13th and 14th.  Marketing efforts are focusing on this event and the upcoming Labor Day Celebration including fireworks.   

VisitMountDora(tm) stepped up to pay for the Labor Day Fireworks display after a successful event last year.

The Marketing Committee has successfully negotiated an even better advertising contract with Cox Media Group for ongoing monthly radio promotion.  Now we will have a radio promoted Mount Dora Getaway in addition to the successful Getaway Sweepstakes promoted via interent on WhatToDoInMountDora.com. 

Cox Media Group has also extended to us the benefit of exhibiting at their high profile events throughout Florida to promote Mount Dora even more effectively to event attendees.  Many of their events attract over 200,000 visitors such as the annual Fall Fiesta in the Park at Lake Eola.  We will be looking for volunteers in the future to assist us in manning the booth spaces at these events.  

The Marketing Committee is currently in discussions with the Orlando Sentinel to increase our sponsorship agreement for the 2011 Craft Fair.  The Sentinel provided us with over 100,000 event guides distributed throughout Central Florida in the Sunday paper prior to last year's Craft Fair.  This year the Sentinel is proposing reaching out to South Florida via the Sun Sentinel with the same insert.  Stay tuned for details.
