In Honor of Bet Mangum

Friday, April 24 at the Sparta United Methodist Church.

The event, which benefits the Solid Rock Food Closet, will start at 11am and last till 2pm.

For the event, we developed a Sponsor Board, posters, invitations, and graphics for the newspaper and social media. The event was also advertised on eAlleghany.net.

1st Annual Blue Ridge Golf Tournament

Saturday, April 25, 2015 at Roaring Gap Club.

Proceeds from the Golf Tournament provide funds for scholarships and vital needs at Blue Ridge Christian School.

ISI designed and printed programs and an event banner, that featured event sponsors.  Well over 100 businesses, organizations and individuals have worked together to produce the tournament.

ISI is proud to be a part of these events, which will benefit so many in our area. This weekend, make time to support these important organizations and have a little Springtime fun in the process!

Music on the Mountain

11007943_856184561114346_1825254620_nSaturday, April 4th at 7 pm, Alleghany Community Auditorium will be hosting Music on the Mountain!

We made these “Height-Entry” signs, to add a fun look to the “Kids Get in Free” policy at the ticket tables.

The performers will include Kitty & the Stray Cats, S. Main, Alleghany Jam and The Loose Strings Band and Wayne Henderson and Helen White. Wes Brinegar will emcee.

Tickets are $10 at the door (no presales) and proceeds will go to benefit the auditorium. Kids (under the height of our puppy signs) will be admitted free.

We hope to see you there!
