FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN MICHIGAN'S THUMB

Give people a reason
to stop.

Host something, collaborate with another business, share an event, or improve how people find you before and after the event.

DISTRIBUTED OWNERSHIP

Your business does not have to carry the whole event.

One business can host. Another can offer a special. A maker can add an activity. A restaurant can become the dinner stop. Several small contributions can turn one local event into a fuller day—without asking every business for another generic sponsorship.
