Over the past several years, we’ve heard numerous comments and have had many of you tell us directly that it is appreciated how our sponsors and partners are integrated and functionally involved, most commonly in comparison to other festivals and events. It has always been important to us to pursue creative relationships with those who understand that Pickathon can build an environment that emphasizes this unique dynamic. We are also aware that these partnerships can directly impact the look and feel of Pickathon, and most importantly affect your experience as attendees. So far, this has been an incredibly successful process and we’ve been thankfully rewarded with superb partners.

As we begin planning our 15th year in 2013 we look to the Pickathon community to field new suggestions for potential well-aligned partners and sponsors. Is there a local, regional or national business that you think would be a good partner for Pickathon?

We’ll look into every idea, and as always, appreciate the thoughtfulness.
