Proposal Due Date: November 15, 2010 @ 10 am
Opportunity:
We are looking for ready to sell, quality products that support the cultural attributes of Five Points and that celebrate the activities, and African American people of the 1920’s 30’s and 40’s. We have a tagline that we would like to see used on the materials “Five Points, The Rhythm of the Rockies”.
An example of an item would be a post card that featured a photo of the Rossonian, or a post card that had a collage of sports heroes from that era such as Jackie Robinson or Jessie Owens.
If you are interested in selling your items through the Five Points Visitors Center, please respond to the attached notice.
