As part of the festivities, we have scheduled the 7th Annual Downtown Aspen's World's Fair. The World's Fair is open to all ACRA member restaurants and caterers and will create a flurry of activity in the commercial core as participants sell specialty food and non-alcoholic beverages on the Cooper A venue mall to the crowds gathering for the "Olympic Torch" Relay and Celebration. Musicians, clowns and face-painters will also be on-site to entertain children of all ages. As part of the World's Fair, we encourage participating restaurants to promote their businesses at their booths in the commercial core to enhance business traffic. An important factor in this promotion is the use of signage. In the past, each participating business has been allowed to hang a banner identifying its restaurant. The Aspen Chamber Resort Association would like to ask Council to consider allowing businesses to do so again this year. www"'pencbombec,Mg After attending our Wintersk61 permits meeting with the Special Events Committee on Dec. 18, we understand that new signage policies on public properties were adopted on Dec, 17, 2001. We are asking for special consideration under policy III, "Signs on Public Rights of Way." (please note the Special Events Committee did approve the Wintersk61 event itself at that time.) The World's Fair is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 2, 2002. To date, we have a total of nine pop- up tents scheduled on the Cooper Avenue mall, seven of which will house representatives of local restaurants. We will also have two non-profit organizations present at just a table, not a complete booth, including the Anderson Ranch Arts Center and the Aspen Valley Skating Club. Tent placement will begin at 8 a.m. The World's Fair itself will begin at II a.m. Vendors will arrive for set-up at 10 a.m, Booth signage would be involved from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the event breaks down. Booth/tent size is 9 feet wide by 10 feet deep, with the backs of the tents adjacent to the water ditch. (Please see the attached World's Fair layout diagram.) Banners or business signage would be placed either in the back of the tent hanging against the toplback tent wall or on the front of the 6-foot banquet table placed across the entrance of each tent. The maximum banner size we have recommended to participants is 8 feet long by 3 feet high. In addition, we expect that most businesses will provide signage on the table with either table tents or copies of menus, Anderson Ranch Arts Center and the Aspen Valley Skating Clu,b ~ill ]ustittach signage to the front of each of their 6-foot banquet tables. /" The other two booths currently scheduled to participate at the World'.sPair are the ACAA booth and the Flying Dog Bluegrass Band booth. As the producers of Wint~rsk6l,';e WOuld like to request banner placement in our booth for promotion of the eventitself,:kIl~b\~';~ld like to identify the Flying Dog Bluegrass Band as well. . . i / In addition, we would like to request consideration for one Official WintersK61 13anner to IJ{ hung on Saturday, Feb, 2 during the World's Fair. The Official Banner is 8 feet 10~g-bi4 feet high and states "Go For The Gold - It's Wintersk61 2002" January 31 - February 3. In smaller scale it lists the logos ofWintersk61's major sponsors including: American Express, The Aspen Skiing Co., The Aspen Times, and AT&T Media Services. Traditionally this banner has been hung at the end of the Cooper Avenue mall between the two lamp posts. This banner is particularly important to Identifying the event and the activities taking place that day. Again, this banner is temporary and would only be hung from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2. (please note that placement of all tents and the one lamp post banner has been approved by the Aspen Fire Department and is in compliance with fire lane needs.) We look forward to another successful Wintersk61 Celebration and appreciate your consideration of this matter. Identification of participating businesses is crucial to their participation and to the success of this event. We will be available to discuss this matter further at the City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 14.
