2011 Taste of Chamblee Seeks Fresh Programming Ideas

The 2011 Taste of Chamblee is seeking fresh ideas.  As in the past, the Taste of Chamblee is turning to the community for programming suggestions in effort to build upon our success and continue to make improvements to the festival.  We are continually trying to think of ways to make the Taste of Chamblee Fall Festival better, and are very interesed in new and fresh ideas. We have listed the preliminary theme areas below. Please let us know if you have an idea we should consider:


Preliminary Theme Areas for 2011 Taste of Chamblee Fall Festival

The Main Stage: live music 11-9, including local talent to be highlighted between 1-3.

Chamblee Showcase: special area with booths featuring Chamblee city services:  Parks & Rec, Area Development info, police, and public works

Kids Zone: climbing wall, jumpers, carnival games, gyro, face painter, crafts, etc.

Touch a Truck: fire, ambulance, police, tow truck, GA Power bucket truck, etc.

Beer Garden: selection of 6-8 craft beers and premium wines

Sustainability Fair: New this year is an industry theme to atrract companies to showcase sustainable products, such as consumer products, cars, and building materials (or companies with major sustainable practices)

Note:  Due to a lack of demand, last year's feature theme area, The Wine Garden, will not return for 2011.  We will have a nice selection of wines, but will sell them through more efficient channels such as at the Beer Garden, and other beer booths.
The organizers of the festival are very interested in hearing from you if you have an idea we should consider.  The deadline for submissions is February 28.  Please send ideas via e-mail to thogan@chambleega.com.
