FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, March 6, 2016
Organizers of Livonia Spree and the Livonia Chamber of
Commerce have formed a new partnership to provide easier access to details for
prospective vendors and supporters about the city’s annual festival.
The Livonia Chamber of Commerce office will serve as an
information center for all businesses and organizations interested in
participating in Spree 66, which takes place June 21-26 at Livonia’s Ford
Field.
“We’ve grown and we look forward to developing a good
relationship with the chamber,” said Rich Skaggs, president of the Livonia
Anniversary Committee, the non-profit group that manages Livonia Spree. “We are
working together so we can continue organizing this great event that is
important to promoting our city.”
During normal business hours, businesses and
organizations looking to become a food vendor, provide a business promotional
booth, or become a sponsor of the event can get the information they need to
apply at the Livonia Chamber of Commerce office, located in Suite 212 of the
Civic Center Office Plaza on northeast corner of Five Mile and Farmington
roads. The phone number is 734.427.2122.
“We’ve had our fair share of these types of inquiries about
Spree through the years,” said Dan West, president of the Livonia Chamber of
Commerce. “This new partnership will make it easier for prospective vendors and
sponsors to get the information they need, and provide new support to the
Spree’s volunteer committee that works an extraordinary amount of volunteer
hours each year to organize Livonia’s signature event.”
The plans for band and entertainment are settled for
Spree 66, but the Committee continues to look for food vendors, business
booths, sponsors, and volunteers.
The Livonia Spree attracts some 500,000 visitors during
the annual six-day event, culminating with a premier fireworks show after dusk
on Sunday evening. Since its creation in the 1970s, funds raised from Spree
have enabled the Livonia Anniversary Committee to donate more than $1 million
into many charitable community causes.
