Ricker’s signs on for Apple Fest

We’ll be pulling the Ricker Pop trailer onto Monument Circle and offering your choice of soft drinks to accompany your lunch. In case you’re not familiar, Ricker’s Stores are the convenience stores at BP gas stations across Central Indiana. Here in Marion County, those convenience stores are branded “am/pm”. Ah, now there’s the connection you were looking for!

Anyway, the Ricker family is a faithful supporter of The Salvation Army, most recently providing the soft drinks for our Eat Outside the Box event back in May. Ricker’s is a community-focused, family-owned business that’s stepping up and helping us spread the word about our programs that help homeless and abused women and kids make a fresh start.

Apple Fest is just one month away! So, mark your calendar now to join us on Monument Circle on Thursday, October 7 from 10am-3pm. Applebee’s is donating freshly-grilled sandwiches, GFS Marketplace is donating warm apple cobbler, Adrian Orchards is bringing fresh-picked apples and we’re thrilled to share that  and soft drinks will be provided by Ricker’s Stores.

If you’d like to join us as a presenting or a booth sponsor, just give Kristen a call at 224-1019. Sponsorships start at just $50 and we’re expecting over 1,000 people to attend this year’s Apple Fest. Look for our Apple Fest ad in the next Reach Magazine and listen for our promotions starting soon on the Emmis family of stations – WIBC 93, B105, Hank 97 and ESPN 1070.
