Downtown Henderson is planning for a busy weekend with not one, but two, events scheduled for mid-March.
Plans are underway for Shamrocks on Breckenridge Friday, Mar. 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and then an International Foods Food Truck Festival the next day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In keeping with the St. Patrick’s Day theme, Shamrocks on Breckenridge will feature music, dancing, food trucks and community resource vendors.
Downtown Development Commission Chair Amanda Ellis said applications for sponsors are being taken now, so don’t wait to get your business logo on all kinds of advertisements for the upcoming event.
This year, food vendors will be the only retail vendors; other vendors will be set up to share community resources available in the area, according to information to WIZS from Ellis.
The sponsorship levels are: Pot of Gold – $1,000; Shamrock – $500; and Leprechaun – $250.
Ellis said the plan is to provide free food through the sponsorships for the event.
The deadline for sponsors is Feb. 16, 2024. Email Ellis at amanda@rogersandrogerslawyers.com or phone Alice Sallins at 252.767.4579 to learn more about becoming a sponsor or a vendor.
Downtown Development Director Tracy Madigan said more information will be forthcoming about the international food festival soon.
