Children's Events & Street Performers- $5000.  We engage children with interactive activities in the Children’s Area. Street performers entertain us while we stroll, sample food, and shop. 

Advertising - $5000 per month.  We advertise in many local and regional newspapers and several radio stations, and on-line social media.  We reach beyond Eastern CT to let the rest of the state know how special we are!
