“This event is possible because of the sponsors that understand the importance of boosting local restaurants. Through their sponsorships, we are able to get the word out in print, on billboards, through posters and billfold stuffers, a banner on Main Street, digital advertising, and more.”
The 2016 Branford Restaurant Week is thankful to have major sponsorships from Mosaic Printing, Thimble Islands Brewing, and The Sound newspaper, plus sponsorships from Ring’s End, Shoreline Orthodontics, Aquatic Pool, and Trailblazer.
