A Campaign to Increase COVID-19 Vaccinations in Cowley County in Advance of the

Walnut Valley Festival

The organizers of the Walnut Valley Festival believe strongly that the more people who choose to get one of the available vaccines for COVID-19, the better our chances are to have a safe and successful festival this September. This is true for those patrons who journey from afar, but doubly important for those who live in the immediate area, where most of our crowd originates.

We therefore intend to offer a number of festival-related incentives to those who take one of the vaccines. The City-Cowley County Health Department will offer a vaccine clinic on the same day that we have our Pre-Lineup on August 28. Pre-Lineup is the first step of what eventually becomes Land Rush, the competition to claim prime real estate in the campgrounds. The on-site vaccination event will be open to anyone, AND those who have already vaccinated will be eligible to enter the raffle as well, by filling out a simple entry form. All must show proof of vaccination in order to claim their prize.

Walnut Valley Festival will offer the following, to be raffled off in various combinations, following the vaccination clinic on August 28:

• Two Full Festival Passes to the 49^th Walnut Valley Festival, September 15-19, 2021

• Two Full Festival Passes to the 50^th Walnut Valley Festival, September 14-18, 2022

• #1 Spot in Land Rush for the 50^th Walnut Valley Festival, September 14-18, 2022, Pecan Grove

• #1 Spot in Land Rush for the 50^th Walnut Valley Festival, September 14-18, 2022, West Campground

• A variety of Festival Merchandise

The City of Winfield will also offer an eighteen-hole round at Quail Ridge golf Course with cart for two people, and a 2022 Annual Lake Permit.

We invite Winfield and Cowley County merchants and businesses to join us in offering incentives for this event. Whether it be a gift certificate or a special prize, you can be assured your business will be listed as a sponsor of the event, we will make use of social media as well as our hometown newspaper to spread the word.  and festival-goers will certainly appreciate your support of a good cause.
