Eric Sturtevant of SturtevantIllustrations.com was gracious enough to allow me to take his picture alongside some of his artwork (which I found to be one of the best at the event!) and the staff from Jumpin Juice and Java whipped me up a tasty smoothie and posed for the camera as well.

All in all, the day turned out great! Good music, amazing art and fresh food? Who could ask for more on a Sunday?

Here’s how it works:

Limited Edition DOG TAGS will be sold at the stART on the Street festival. Besides a fun and affordable souvenir, purchasing a
DOG TAG entitles the bearer to special promotions at local businesses during and after the festival similar to a coupon.

That’s where Trash Wizard comes in:

Trash Wizard will create a special promotion in coordination with stART on the Street (for example: $100 off a $350 load of junk removal for Worcester, MA residents.).

With so many people in Worcester for the festival, don’t miss this opportunity to come out and meet new people and local artists!

stARTs goal is to keep the visitors to the event in the city AFTER THE EVENT IS OVER!

How many DOG TAGS will be available for purchase? Where can attendees purchase the tags?

2,000 DOG TAGS will be sold during the festival at the two information booths and by strolling volunteers throughout the festival.

What will the tags look like?

The two sided pendant will feature the stART on the Street logo on one side and a local artist created logo for the 2009 festival
theme which is “stART in Motion”.

How will attendees know Trash Wizard of Worcester, MA is a participant in this promotion?

A special page on the stART on the Street website will promote DOG TAGS before and after the event, as well as, a printed list that will be included with each tag purchase

The goal of stART on the Street is to draw attendees to other businesses in Worcester – They want all attendees to experience the independent businesses that make us all love Worcester!

stART will sell dog tags as souvenirs during the festival with or without this promotional component but they want to offer involvement to as many businesses as possible!

Here are a few examples of promotions you can offer, depending on the type of business you own:
“10% off a service (haircut, massage, car wash…) with an expiration date of September 30, 2009.”

If you are a restaurant you may offer a free appetizer with an entrée purchase, free dessert…whatever is the most cost effective
method to draw customers to your location!

All local businesses that are interested in sponsoring stART on the Street should contact: dogtags@startonthestreet.org or send correspondence to:
