Emily Peklo, senior event project coordinator for the Omaha Summer Arts Festival and its fall sister-festival ARTsarben in Omaha, Nebraska, joins Connie to draw the names of 40 contributors to the 7th Annual Pledge Drive. Did you pledge? Will you be a winner?

With nearly 70 prizes donated by friends around the country everyone who pledged has at least a 1 in 3 chance of being chosen. Thank you to everyone who has built our business, who attends art fairs and buys art, to the show organizers who bring these cool cultural events to their community and to the artists who take risks every day with the financial and weather vagaries of life.

The suggested pledge is $24. The minimum prize value is $40. Pledge by 5 pm ET to be included in today's drawing. Will you do that? Click here: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/pledgedrive.html

After the drawing any prizes not chosen will be available on a first come, first served basis to anyone who has sent us $$. That's right, everyone has a chance to win!

Monday, June 2, 3 pm ET 

Terry Adams from the Cherry Creek Arts Festival joins me to talk about the business, his goals and new initiatives to keep his show at the top of the heap.

Even better, he will be drawing the names of the winners -- about 40 of them -- live! Listen, call in, leave comments, pledge -- and have some fun!

Hope you'll join me and Internet marketing guru, author Scott Fox (my son) as we celebrate 10 years of informational websites about the art fair business. We're doing a countdown on the Ten Most Informational Links on ArtFairInsiders.com with the stories behind them.

This site has hosted some fascinating writers over the years and we'll highlight their helpful info. 

AND we will begin the drawing for the Pledge Drive Prizes. 

We have 65 prizes. We will not be giving the prizes directly, but we'll announce the list and the winners can choose their own prize. Of course, the first name called will get first choice, etc.

Will you be a winner? Odds of winning are very good, maybe 2.5 to 1! 

Will you call in and tell us your art fair story? Has this site been helpful to you in ferreting out the best shows, staying away from the bad ones, finding the best resources, making some friends? If so, pledge and also call in to the live show. We'd love to hear from you. We're old friends by now.
