Dear Mayor Bartie,
The Port Arthur Convention &Tourist Association dba Port Arthur Convention &Visitors Bureau would
like to provide a sponsorship of$2,500.00 for the City of Port Arthur 2021 Holiday Downtown Event.
The event will be a great addition to the Holidays. It will also encourage attendance at a downtown
event showcasing the pavilion and surrounding area for other future events.The PACVB has always
assisted with the Port Arthur Lighted Parade by providing amenities thrown from the floats and goodie
bags for the children in attendance. With the exciting changes being made to the event,we would like
to provide that same contribution but in the form of a sponsorship.
Thank you for all you do in making events happen and in supporting other events. We look forward to a
great Holiday 2021 event.
Sincerely,
Tammy Kotzur
Executive Director
Port Arthur Convention &Visitors Bureau
