Advertising in Show Program The Austin Area Quilt Guild will hold its biennial Capital of Texas QuiltFest September 14-16, 2012 at the Palmer Event Center in Central Austin. The theme of the 2012 show is "Wild Texas Flowers". You can help us by advertising in our complimentary Show Program to be published in conjunction with the show. Each of the anticipated 4,000 attendees over the three day show will receive a Show Program upon entry to the show floor. Even better, your advertising exposure will begin early on our dedicated web site and will continue after the show. Your ad is an excellent way to focus your advertising dollars on a targeted, interested and devoted audience of quilt makers and quilt lovers. Our vendor booth numbers will be automatically included in print ads to encourage attendees to visit to those special booths. Funds generated from the QuiltFest are used to support the Guild's mission of preserving the heritage of quilting and promoting excellence and education in the art of quilt making. We offer on-going support and education via monthly general meetings, lectures and workshops by nationally recognized quilters. Smaller groups of members in neighborhood quilting "bees" share the educational lessons from the area meetings and extend the charitable mission of AAQG. AAQG is a registered 501(c) 3 organization. Consult with your tax advisor as to whether and how to deduct your advertising. AAQG has donated over 700 quilts and afghans to families of wounded soldiers and families at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, active duty soldiers in Mosul, Iraq, and to veterans at the Veterans Hospital in Temple, Texas. Our community outreach annually averages 400 completed quilts donated to child & infant well-being programs in Travis and Bastrop counties In addition to the purchase of your ad in the program, we encourage guilds and shops to display complimentary Show Posters and bookmark flyers. To order promotional flyers and window posters please e-mail a request to the AAQG Show Chairs.
