Noodle Box and Fringe Fest 2010 August 23, 2010 by Nick in blog
The Noodle box is happy to be partnering up as a Fringe Friend again this year! We will be offering $1.00 off of any food purchase at our Fisgard and Douglas Street locations to anyone that has their 2010 Fringe button visible. We will also have donation jars at our front counters incase you decide that you want to take the $1.00 you just saved and donate it right back to the Fringe.
Stop by and grab a box or call in your order so that you are sure to make it to your desired show on time. We are licensed and will be featuring some great B.C. Wines by the glass or the bottle as well as delicious homemade Sangria and Phillips draft beer!!!
The Fringe needs all of our support to be able to combat against the B.C. Arts Council Cuts. We love the Fringe and encourage everyone to get out there and show their support, and enjoy some amazing shows performed by some extremely talented artists.
A message from Ian Case, general Manager of The Fringe:
“Noodle Box fuels many Fringe staffers and many a performer during the Fringe. It’s inexpensive, healthy and full of yummy goodness. But Fringe cannot survive on Noodle Box alone, which is one of the reasons we’re so pleased to be partnering with the fabulous folks at Noodle Box on their “donate to the Fringe” program.
In the last two years the Fringe and the arts in BC have had a rough go of it with our provincial government. Changes to Gaming Funding meant we lost $35,000 in funding in 2009 and $61,000 in support in 2010. Cuts to the BC Arts Council will mean we can expect to lose even more provincial support in 2011. This funding helps to make the Fringe possible. It pays for venues, for technicians and staff, for technical equipment rentals and for free activities like the Fringe Kick Off Concert, FringeKids and many other wonderful special events. We’re very proud of the Victoria Fringe, one of the oldest and biggest theatre events taking place in our province and we know you are too.
To be able to continue to producing the Fringe we need you help, which is why we, and the good folks at Noodle Box, are asking you to consider donating to the Fringe when you make your next Noodle Box purchase! At little goes a long way, and your help will make that noodley goodness taste that much better.”
