Dear Business Owners:

Preparation for our 19th anniversary AFR'AM FEST, a nationally recognized celebration to be held Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, 2002, is underway.

The Marketplace Committee is pleased to invite you and your business to exhibit and sell your wares at the Marketplace. Our theme is "And Still We Rise", which will be reflected through our exhibitors as they depict the richness of our African-American heritage. Education, music, visual arts, dance, storytelling, food and the fabulous Marketplace itself will reflect our pride and serve to heighten our consciousness and exposure to a village of diverse visitors and patrons.

To receive consideration to exhibit and sell your goods you must complete the application process.

As we commemorate our 19th anniversary, we eagerly anticipate your business's involvement in one of the largest African-American cultural celebrations in the country. To assist you with concerns and information, please do not hesitate to contact the Marketplace Committee at (757) 456-1743 or email (rlove@aframfest.com).

We thank you for your interest and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Peace and Blessings,

The Marketplace Committee
