Dear Advertisers:

In light of our commitment to green our event and reduce waste as much as possible, we are changing our event program format. The Moab Folk Festival will now be producing a high quality newsprint booklet instead of the glossy print booklet. The materials used in the making of this program will not only be recycled, but fully recycleable at our community recycling center. The inks used will be soy based.

We are also going with a slightly larger size. Our previous programs measured 8.5" x 11". Our new program will measure 11" x 16.25".

We have revised our rate card to reflect the new program size and corresponding ad space.

We thank you for your continued support!

The Moab Folk Festival Staff
