EDC Toolshed:
For Managing Concerts and Other Events

Apr. 09, 2025

To help the members of the Economic Development Committee successfully plan and complete its numerous projects throughout the year, I organized this page to store any tools that can be useful toward that end. The goal is to fully document the "Tribal Knowledge" that currently governs our activities.

Tools You Can Use

 2025 EDC Events calendar (April 2,2025) - This document describes all the events planned for the year. For each concert, there is information for each music group, including fees and details about the primary contact. Details for later events still need to be determined.

 Locations for Yard Signs - Yard signs from last June were relabeled with the correct date and restapled. They were placed outside the side door of Town Hall, EDC members and other volunteers should pick them up and install them around town using the list of suggested locations in the aforementioned link.

 May 17, 2025 Concert Flyer - The flyer is a flashy, colored, advertising piece (8 1/2 x 11 inch) to be printed and then posted in or handed out at local businesses about five weeks before the concert.

 Business Locations for May 17 Flyers (4/9/25) - This document lists all the local businesses that allow us to post our flyers. Locations are primarily in Allenstown, but also include Pembroke, Hooksett, and Concord. Members should notify all EDC members as to where you posted a flyer so we don't go there again. Nancy B. will update the flyer location list which will hten be posted here to show where more flyers are needed.

 Web Page and Social Media Announcements - This story provides all the details about the upcoming concert and the other features of the event. It should be written and posted on Allenstown Alt and the town web site about five weeks before the concert. A notice should also be posted on the local Allenstown/Pembroke Facebook sites.

 Donation Letter for Businesses - This letter is to be sent to local businesses to encourage them to financially support EDC concerts and events. In exchange, the EDC will announce the donations in its advertising and will invite the businesses to set up a booth at the event they sponsored. Nancy B has printed copies and will be mailing letters to local businesses.

 2025 Movie Night Flyers - This document shows where Movie Night flyers were posted around town.

 2025 Halloween Lighting Contest Flyers - This document shows where Halloween Contest flyers were posted around town.
