• Promotional material was hand-distributed to over 10,000 potential attendees at locations across the state of Michigan.
• A regional PR campaign brought news of the Festival and sponsor to hundreds of thousands of food & wine aficionados in Michigan and the wider Great Lakes Region.
• The Traverse City Wine & Art Festival was the first large festival to take place at the newly renovated Grand Traverse Commons and will serve as a centerpiece of the summer 2010 Traverse City event lineup.
