Vampires are Sinking Their Fangs into
Flint this Fall
Flint, Michigan May 26, 2012
There’s a new event coming to
Flint in the fall of 2012- Flint Fang Fest.
Local Flint author, book
publicist and lifelong Flint area resident, Roxanne Rhoads came up with the
idea for Flint Fang Fest in part thanks to the popularity of vampires and
werewolves in current pop culture trends. You see them everywhere: in books, in
TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and
True Blood, and in movies (the most
popular being the Twilight Saga- in
which Breaking Dawn Part 2 opens in
theaters November 16, 2012).
She believes Flint Fang Fest has
the potential to bring an economic boost to Flint with a fun and modern pop
culture twist- which will coordinate perfectly with other Halloween festivities
in the area.
She hopes that Flint Fang Fest
can become the “Back to the Bricks” for paranormal enthusiasts.
This year the Flint Horror
Convention is in its second year and will be held on October 20. The Flint
Vampire Ball is in its fifth year and will be held on October 27.
Throughout the week there will be events all over
the area- geared for young and old- something for everyone. From author book signings to a vampire theme pin
up fashion show featuring local pin up models and a sexy burlesque show
performed by the Fischer
Bodies.
Fang fest organizers are seeking more downtown
businesses to participate in Fang Fest, especially during the day on Saturday
October 20, on Friday evening October 26, and Saturday October 27. The goal is to create events throughout
the downtown area that patrons can walk to or just have a short drive to.
The HorrorCon will be going on all day October 20 and The Vampire
Ball vendors' event will be going on from 11-5 October 27 with the ball
starting around 7pm- both at The Masonic Temple right on Saginaw Street.
By holding an event that ties in with Fang Fest, whether a special
sale, a product, even a fun menu local businesses could draw a lot of foot
traffic from Horror Con and The Vampire Ball to their business on those key
days.
All participating events and businesses will be included in
promotional advertising for the event- on the Flint Fang Fest web site, on the
Facebook page and on fliers and other promotional materials.
If
you would be interested in taking part in this unique opportunity to breath new
(undead) life into Flint, give local businesses an economic boost, help
local charities, and have fun while doing it please contact Roxanne at RoxanneRhoads@bewitchingbooktours.com to
discuss the possibilities.
