This Friday, March 20 marks the first day of spring! Are you as excited as we are? Coloradans got a head start, as we enjoyed a little heat wave the last couple days. The warm weather has us dreaming about the fun outdoor activities that take place in the spring and summer – concerts in the park, food and beverage festivals, art walks and marathons galore! We know many of these amazing events are put on by community organizations, Parks and Recreation Departments and Chambers of Commerce. If you’re involved in getting some of these activities off the ground, this is a great time to start gleaning all of the supplies and materials you need. Here are some items to add to your checklist, that will help make your gathering a success:
Wristbands
Wristbands are a commonplace at all types of functions. They’re especially helpful for indicating factors pertinent to the event, such as whether an individual has paid their admission fee or if they’re of drinking age. If you have a reoccurring festival or concert each year, consider how investing in a wristband printer can save you money in the long run.
Parking Tags
Parking tags are perfect for multi-day festivals or outdoor attractions, such as campgrounds, where individuals will be leaving their cars for an extended period of time and need to show proof of purchase. These clear parking tags are a versatile solution, as you have the option of using any plastic or paper insert in the slot. The clear tags are also a sustainable product, as they can be reused again and again. Just set up a collection box (like they do for 3D glasses at the movie theaters) and kindly ask your attendees to recycle their parking tags upon exiting the event.
Lanyards
Lanyards are an event staple that often get forgotten about until the last minute. They’re simple products that provide a great deal of functionality and convenience. If you’re planning a festival, lanyards and name badges can help you identify vendors and/or attendees. There are a variety of colors and patterns to choose from, which will add that extra touch to your festivities.
Spring is in the air! Stay ahead this season by gathering your event necessities in advance. A little planning will go a long way and ensure that you, too, can have some fun in the sun.
