Sponsors
This is a free community event, designed to improve the exposure of Paxton’s historic downtown area and to highlight Paxton’s genuine hometown qualities, businesses, and local attractions. Through such a large community event, several out-of-town guests and residents of surrounding areas have been able to explore Paxton’s downtown area and create new bonds of friendship and trust within our business district.
We are able to keep this a free event due to our very generous sponsors. Our sponsors not only receive recognition in various ways throughout the event, but there are also many perks to becoming a sponsor such as artists' meet and greets, free party pit tickets, and of course..some great BBQ. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please download the form below for more information.
