Kenosha Festival Of Cartooning 2014 - Spread The Word!

Mark your calendars! We have our official dates and speaking roster set for the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning 2014! The festival will run:

• Thursday, September 25
• Friday, September 26 
• Saturday September 27

Our special guest speakers are:

• Jeff Keane - Family Circus
• Lincoln Peirce - Big Nate
• Scott Stantis - Prickly City and Editorial Cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune
• Terri Libenson - The Pajama Diaries
• Rick Stromoski - Soup to Nutz
• Todd Clark - Lola
• Denis Kitchen - Kitchen Sink Press and co-author of "Al Capp - A Life To The Contrary"
• Michael Schumacher - Author of "Will Eisner - A Contract With God" and co-author of "Al Capp - A Life To The Contrary"

We have a LOT of exciting things planned this year including two gallery shows and an auction of original art to benefit children's charities in the Kenosha Area.

We will be launching our fundraising drive for the 2014 budget at the beginning of the year and, before we launch the drive, we need to spread the word. Crowd sourcing on platforms like Kickstarter works best when a lot of people donate, even if the donations are small.

So we are setting a goal of 1000 new followers on Twitter (@KenoshaFestival)and 1000 new followers on Facebook (Kenosha Festival of Cartooning - Facebook). If you are already a "Friend of the Festival" one of the best things you can do right now is persuade others to follow the festival on social networking.

The Festival is an amazing opportunity for folks to meet cartoonists and all events are FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
