Dickens Christmas Fair 2007 Special - Thanks from the Publicity
and Promotions Team!
(sent December 3rd, 2007)
A nice thank you from Denise and Shannon:
Hello everyone:
On behalf of the publicity and promotions team, we wanted to send out a
heart-felt thank you for everyone who participated (or was affected by)
the NBC Nightly News/Today Show yesterday. The entire crew was
simply blown away by what you all do, the amount of detail and passion
you all put into the Fair and all the wonderful stories that you shared
with the crew. A special thanks to those of you who were
temporarily displaced and whose stage schedules were delayed or
interrupted. Apologies for any inconveniences endured yesterday. We
truly appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm and willingness to participate
to help bring The Great Dickens Christmas Fair to a national audience.
The segment will run as part of a story on Charles Dickens and A
Christmas Carol on the
NBC Nightly News (avg. 10 million
viewers!) on Monday, December 24 at 5:30pm and on
The Today Show
(avg. 5.5 million viewers!) on Christmas Day, Tuesday, December 25 from
7am to 11am. Additionally, we have been told that the story will
be posted on the
NBC News website, which is the largest news
website in the world. I don't know the exact time of the
Today
Show airing but will let you all know ASAP. Since this is a
national show, you can tell your Aunt Bessie in Austin, TX and your
Uncle Bob in Spokane to tune in and see what you've been up to lately
and why you haven't been able to make it for Thanksgiving.
On another note:
The Inside
City Limits show, which was shot at the Fair on opening weekend,
will air this week on ComcastSF – cable channel 11.
Inside City Limits is a half hour,
weekly arts and entertainment series and premiers on Wednesday at 9 PM,
with replays on Thursday at 8 PM, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM. If
you do not live in San Francisco, you may want to check with you local
Comcast office to see if the show airs in your area.
You can also look for our own Father Christmas this coming Saturday,
December 8 live on
KRON4 Weekend News at 7:45am with Fair
enthusiast Jan Wahl. Father Christmas will be bringing items from
the Fair for an on-air show and tell. Thank you to all of the
food vendors and crafts people who lent us items to show off.
Lastly,
KGO radio news was out at the Fair yesterday capturing
wonderful sound bites for a story that is supposed to run today.
Thanks again for all your help and enthusiasm. Onward and upward!
Denise and Shannon
