Help with publicity for the show….

We have Professionally printed posters 5.5″ x 17″  and rack cards that are available via Sandra Grant, Jenn Davey, Deb Campbell, Kris McDermet, Sharon O’Neill, Belinda Whipple Worth.

But here are two files you can download to either print or enclose in emails to your friends:

8.5 x 11 poster

Hilary suggested printing one of these and hanging it in a car window (driver’s side back seat?) and you’ll be advertising the show wherever you park your car!   Or print out a few to hang in shops / galleries / libraries in your area.

Download full-size poster to print here.

Rack Card Front and Back

This is a colorful and info-packed .pdf you can attach to emails you send to friends and family,  or post to your social media accounts.   Sharon says she was surprised at the show in Montpelier and the friends from way back, who saw her post and showed up at the show!  You never know!
