Dear Local Business Owner,
The Grand Junction Renaissance Faire (GJRF), has been established to support the continued
enrichment and education of the faculty and staff of our local charter school, Juniper Ridge
Community School. Our first year in operation was a complete success and with the help of our
sponsors, patrons, and volunteers we were able to net the necessary funds to pay for an entire
semester of continued education for our faculty. We are beyond proud and fully committed to
bringing back this magical, community based event that truly had something for everyone.
GJRF is a three day event that will include entertainment acts encompassing music, comedy, juggling,
fire breathing, and more. Many of these acts come from all over the United States to entertain our
patrons. There will also be a great deal of local talent to round out our entertainment offerings. We
have invited artisans such as blacksmiths, jewelry makers, and weavers to display their wares and
provide demonstrations. A children’s realm will be an important part of the entertainment of GJRF. In
the children’s realm, children will listen to stories by the gypsies, play games, make arts & craft
projects, and be knighted by the Queen.
The Grand Junction Renaissance Faire invites you to become a sponsor for our annual Spring
Renaissance Faire on May 12-14, 2017. As a sponsor, your association with the Grand Junction
Renaissance Faire and Juniper Ridge Community School, a local 501(c)(3) non- profit, you will receive
positive media attention, and the opportunity to network with a large and diverse target market.
Not only will your sponsorship help assure the success of the Grand Junction Renaissance Faire, it will
align your organization with a quality, family oriented event that will enhance your standing in the
community. You will be a part of supporting one of the fastest growing and most successful
educational philosophies in the world. Enclosed please find more information on this exciting event
and its sponsorship levels. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. Thank you in
advanced for taking the time to review our sponsorship proposal packages.
Our Best,

Grand Junction Renaissance Faire
The Grand Junction Renaissance Faire offers its visitors an opportunity to step back in time to a magical,
enchanting fantasy land that has been created to represent an authentic European village. We are a member
of a National Renaissance Faire circuit and will feature over 40 performers, representing various
entertainments of the time: jugglers, knights in armor, jousting, fire-eaters, pirates, dancers, villagers,
peasants, historical characters and a variety of musicians. Over 60 artisans will fill the village, working in
mediums such as pottery, leather working, blacksmithing, sculpture and candle making, just to name a few.
The crafts and entertainment combined with thematic games and foods to create a glimpse of marketplace
celebrations and life in the 16th century. All proceeds from Grand Junction Renaissance Faire benefit the
continuing education fund of Juniper Ridge Community School, a local charter public school and a 501(3)(c)
organization.
 The Grand Junction Renaissance Faire is organized and hosted by Juniper Ridge Community School.
The primary objective is to fund training and continuing education for the teachers at Juniper Ridge

event to Mesa County.
