“We are looking for sponsors who want to help grow this festival for Douglas-Coffee County and our region,” says Georgia Henderson, Community Development Director. “It takes a great community effort to be able to grow this event each year as well as attract a large attendance. As in the past with other festivals & events, we want to offer a variety of exhibitors, educational opportunities, great food and fun activities for all ages.”

Sponsorships are an affordable for way for businesses to market themselves. Offering various monetary levels, being a SGBOF sponsor can offer businesses a unique way to showcase the company. Sponsorship benefits can be adjusted to fit the needs of any business while building relationships within the community of Douglas and Coffee County.
