SOUVENIR PROGRAM ADVERTISING

A Keepsake for all attendees

The Open souvenir program is collected by attendees and non-attendees alike. When we read through the pages of the program, we recall, or relive, the amazing experience of each year’s Open, with joy and awe!

This type of repeated, targeted readership affords a great opportunity for advertisers.  And your full color ad reaches a unique audience: swing dance fans! That’s why you want to be in our program each year.

For more information about ad space in the program, contact Ward Roberts at info@usopenswing.com or 412-525-1692.

The open program table

2012 marked our 30th Anniversary! To mark the historic date, we reprinted souvenir programs from years past to create a one-of-a-kind “Program Table.”

The Program Table reminds readers of our history, recalls memories and stories of when we competed or attended. Everyone enjoys seeing pictures of those early years. It’s a joy to see everyone appreciating the history displayed on the Program Table.

The programs are secured to the table for all  attendees to view. When you come to The Open, be sure to stop by and see this unique tribute to The Open and all of its participants.
