NW Region 2013 Promotional Opportunities
The following are listed as potential opportunities only, we don't yet know which of these promoters might welcome Appleseed and be willing to consider donating a table to us for their show. You, the LBOTG, are our best chance to find out! So, if you ask and get an answer, please let me know so I can update this list.
Also be aware that the listed dates and locations are subject to change.
The format is: city, state, (location, sponsor/promoter)
This format is followed by the URL for unique events, (recurring URLs are listed by promoter).
(Unique events are sometimes more receptive venues than larger shows.)
Colors represent the state location (to match the 2013 Schedule).
Bold means someone is working on getting Appleseed a table.
Underlined (or linked) means the event is being worked (and could use your help at the table).
