ARTI NEWS
Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTI) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the acquisition of Charity Sports Distribution, Inc. (CSD) for $3,750,000 to be paid in restricted shares of Artfest International's common stock valued at $.25 per share. Artfest International will also assume $500,000 in debt as part of the transaction. The acquisition of CSD was one of the major factors in Artfest International receiving a $5 Million equity line of credit from Delaney Capital, LLC earlier this month.

CSD is in the gift, novelty, collectable and memorabilia business and operates souvenir shops and game day auctions at major stadiums and college sport venues. CSD is headquartered in Carrollton, TX. CSD currently has over 20 employees and had annual sales of over $3.3 million in 2008. Through this acquisition, Artfest will also receive approximately $1.2 million in sport memorabilia, which will be available for sale on the Company's Web site www.artfestinternational.com, which is just one of the avenues in which CSD will be able to increase its sales figures in 2009.

"The acquisition of Charity Sports Distribution will have a positive impact on Artfest's revenues. Through CSD's agreements with the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, the Dallas Stars, the Dallas Mavericks, as well as 27 College Teams, we will now have direct access to a large and diverse portfolio of sports memorabilia," stated Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc. "This is a first of many targeted memorabilia, framing and printing companies that Artfest is planning to acquire in what is considered to be a 100,000,000,000 plus market space. We are focused to 'vertically' integrate framing, printing art and memorabilia companies to support our business plan and foster our growth."

I so hope you are right about that.

What a weird presentation. I guess I should think this is going to be BIG since they are asking people to come there.

If they are waiting for the banks approval then why should I call the CEO, obviously he doesn't know how long the process takes. I should call the bank is more like it.

I want to put this out there for those who should think twice.
If ARTI is delaying the PR because they believe it will be better for the PPS next week, why did they get our hopes up last week?

This is no way to create momentum. So the question is what would be a better release date for a PR last week, this week or next week?
NOT next week coming from all of this.

Thats the things, how are we to raise awareness of ARTI?

You can define a late PR as it being later then what was wanted or hoped for. If you heard the CC the CEO said he was pushing for the end of last week.
Furthermore it does not have to be an intentional late PR as you are stating that I have put on. Things always pop up and you cant rush art.
I don't think that I trash the stock that I am confidently invested in at all.

In any stock a late PR creates doubt, but for those who have waited on ARTI know that this is a done deal. It's just a matter of putting in the touch up.

Captain its still a good company, is it not?

Alright! looks like tomorrow it will be smiles. I wonder if the TA will give OS info and we find out ARTI was buying back shares. That would be something

This is an interesting event, I'm looking at how this will play out.
I wish you the best out of this.

Grats on your pick there stockjoker,

How do you see this going from here on out?

Don't be so Landis.

True

lol, you know what you have.

I wonder if you place an order at .0031 would it go through?

Thx Chris,
Hope we have a good CC today.

I think you should post the ARTI news about the CC.

NXHD .0002

It would be nice to let some people buy shares.

NICE CALL ON ETLS.. hope you have more of those.

Whats good with ETLS?

Yes, Like most of us here em waiting for that gain. This stock has its 100% gains throughout the wait.. but I think its safe to say that we waiting for the big one, where it rightfully belongs.

Still holding waiting for the ride to take off. After the fine DD done on this company, one could only be amazed at why this isn't at higher lvl's.

This should be at at least .006 right now. Don't understand why people are selling when the CSD acquisition is due any day now. Next week seems more likely to be announced.

Where is all this hype coming from?

maybe a tap on the ask could do it.

I see where you coming from.

Morning all.
Go ARTI

Yes great news indeed.
people are around keeping silent, maybe some are down with a cold.

SO NO BUYOUT!!!

Its looking good!
I am glad too to be holding this stock.

Thx Chris for the info.

Man what are you talking about. He should be held responsible for his actions. I see there is a lot of people who trying to ease the pressure of Jared and you are one of them.
