<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Marya,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For 15 years Historic Baker City sold historic
building ornaments. In the last 5 years the interest has significantly waned (so
much so that we stopped publishing them this last year). The cost/cash outlay is
also high, with high min. orders price breaks and shipping. We do much better
with historic postcards and posters; they're not seasonal and very easy to take
home. People love them. We have them printed locally with great
success. Soon we will probably do a re-usable shopping bag, promoting Baker
City and our shop local campaign. </FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black">We’ve done a few of
these in the past, and it depends on the timing of the event, as well as the
vendors. One time (a morning event) we sold coffee in commemorative
travel mugs (the mugs cost us $3; Starbucks provided the coffee free, and we
sold them for $10 – big hit!)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black">Another event was
later in the afternoon and into the evening – we sold glasses of wine in
commemorative wine glasses, etched with our logo, but you could etch anything
you want (such as a line drawing of a prominent building???). Same kinda
deal – the wine was donated and the glasses cost us about $4 (based on a
pretty big volume, though), and sold them for around $10 or $12….also sold
full bottles of wine with commemorative add-on labels.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Enterprise Main Street group is helping organize the Bowlby Bash (a street
fair in Historic Enterprise) and we are trying to decide what kind of
souvenirs to sell. We haven’t had much luck with T-shirts but think
perhaps something else might work better. We are thinking of lapel pins, note
cards, or Christmas ornaments with a historic building
