Aberdeen last season had announced their intention to move away from local sponsorship.

The festival is funded through donations and by local sponsorship & patronage.

"Teams will have revenue opportunities they didn't have under the original model in the form of expanded local sponsorships," she said.

This would be an attractive project for local sponsorship.

"A good natural setting and strong local sponsorship."

Mr. Pugliese said he and other chamber members had already raised $1 million in local sponsorships for the event.

And they are looking for local sponsorship.

It is so good, even, that it can be funded in a host of other ways, for example through local sponsorship.

The announcement came as local and civic sponsorship was announced as the reason to bring the sport back.

He is eagerly soliciting more local sponsorship and money from national foundations.
