Take 50% Off Your Gourd Purchases

Save 50% on Your Gourd Purchases During the Festival!

We’re hoping you will enjoy the Gourd Art Festival so much you will want to attend on both days! That’s why we’re offering HALF PRICE on Welburn gourds Sunday of the Festival for all those who attend the show Saturday and purchase their Sunday admission tickets before they leave on Saturday.

To get your Sunday 50% of Gourds Coupon simply attend the Gourd Art Festival Saturday and while you are there, purchase a discounted $8 admission ticket for Sunday!

(Please Note: If you have already purchased advanced tickets for both Saturday and Sunday, just show your Sunday tickets at the Information Booth on Saturday during the event and you will receive a 50% off gourds coupon you can redeem on Sunday June 27th.)

* Half price is for raw, uncrafted gourds only. Cleaning charges are not half-price. The 50% off coupon is valid for Sunday, June 27th, 2010 only and may not be used on Saturday (hey, otherwise what incentive would you have to come back, right?).
