Hello Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby Fans and Friends,
We have officially begun organizing for the 2010 Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby and Trenton Avenue Arts Fest! We are in full swing gathering sponsors, finding teams, filling out parade permits and thinking of creative ways to get the word out! We need your help spreading the word to anyone you think would be interested in attending, making a team, sponsoring, volunteering, etc.
Save the Dates:
Saturday May 22nd 2010
Derby Day!
Join thousands of people who come to Kensington each May to witness the krazy Kenzokinetical madness as well as shop top-notch local arts and craft vendors, eat tasty foods, drink tasty local brews and listen to rockin local tunes!
The Trenton Avenue Arts Fest starts at 12noon and runs until 5pm. Get there by noon to catch the derby leave and stay to see the mud pit finish line and hear the awards ceremony!
The Fest benefits the non-profit organization that hosts the fest- the ever-awesome East Kensington Neighbors Association. They help us make the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby super awesome!

Sponsors get a lot of exposure through our website, Septa ads (seen by thousands daily), our print and web ads, and our promotional materials. Please see our sponsorship packet here, pass it on to anyone you think might be interested. The deadline for Sponsors at the $500 or above level is Wednesday March 17th 2010.

Please help spread the word to all who you think could make a team, vend, sponsor, volunteer, buy a t-shirt, etc...
FOR THE GLORY!
