Sponsorship

Dear Potential Partner,

The Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition would like you to consider our proposal to enter into a partnership that is an exciting and unique marketing opportunity for your company.

Since 1963 the Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition has been operated by the Valley Agricultural Society and is a Volunteer Not for Profit organization. As Manitoba’s Only Professional Rodeo the Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition draws an average of 20,000 – 30,000 visitors to Morris, Manitoba over 4 days during the 3rd week of July each year. The Rodeo is one stop on the Canadian Rodeo Tour which is comprised of the top eleven rodeos in the country. The Manitoba Stampede is also home to World Championship Pony Chuckwagon & Thoroughbred Chariot Races.

The Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition also hosts a multitude of other activities such as Heavy & Light Horse Shows, a Dairy Show, a Cabaret, Christian Concert, Kids Learning Centre and School Work Displays. With a strong focus on families & children, we provide both fun and educational activities such as, the “Manitoba Mutton Bustin’ Championships” (kids that ride sheep during the rodeo), a Petting Zoo, hands on agricultural activities, a midway and interactive family entertainment.

As a partner you will receive great benefits. By “Branding” an area of our event your name or a product name will be visible to thousands of people you may not normally be reaching through usual advertising campaigns. Some packages allow you the opportunity to have your brand name or business name included in all the marketing we do prior to and during our event, this includes radio, television and print advertising. We also include tickets to our event which you could use as give-a-ways, employee incentives or to host clients.

Please review the information included in this package. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

We would like to thank you for considering our proposal. We are willing to work with you to customize a package that will be of the best benefit to your company. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Malissa Lewis
