The Great Mudcat Hunt - Sponsorship Opportunity
The Great Mudcat Hunt is a month-long, community-wide scavenger hunt designed to bring people into local businesses, drive engagement, and create a fun experience leading into festival weekend.
As a sponsor, you will receive one of 50 Mudcat signs hidden throughout Dunnville, with your business featured as part of the hunt.
Participants will visit your website, social media, or location to find clues — giving your business direct exposure throughout the entire month of May.
Your Sponsorship Includes:
- One Mudcat Hunt sign (number selection is first come, first served)
- Your logo featured on the Mudcat Festival website
- A business card–sized ad in the Mudcat Annual Catalogue (1,000+ copies distributed)
- The option to include a coupon or promotional offer
- Ongoing promotion through festival scavenger hunt marketing and social media
Investment:
- $200 + prize donation
(Festival Sponsors $3,000+ receive complimentary entry; prize donation still required.)
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a town-wide experience that drives traffic, visibility, and community connection.
Join the hunt — and let customers come find you.
