    First Come First Served!

    Our Preparedness and Craft extravaganza is only a few months away so it's time to start thinking about what craft or preparedness booth you'd like to make money doing.  

    Our main objective is to make this an interesting and new type of fair that will attract a wide variety of individuals.  We would like to make the booths as diverse unique as possible so we will only allow a minimal number of similar vendors.  So...first come first served!  This is good news for you since it will cut down on your competition but this also means you need to act fast to get a booth.  Please do not let this deter you however!  Send me a request for a booth with a description of your wares and we'll promptly let you know if you are in!  

    We plan to advertise through signs, flyers, radio ads, Facebook, emails, word of mouth and the school district to make this an event worth investing in.  

    All the proceeds will go to Discovery Elementary which is greatly needed during this time of hardship.  This is actually what gave me the idea that this is the best time to stress preparedness for our community!   (I get so excited thinking about this that I burned 2 bags of popcorn while getting wrapped up in this blurb! haha)

    There will be a list of classes to come soon so keep this blog on speed dial.  Again it will be...first come..you know.  There will be early sign ups available and the classes will be 30-45mins long at $1.00 per person if you are on the list early.  It will be $2.00 at the fair.  We are working on some really fun ones for both preparedness and crafts!

    I will follow in a few days with the booth info and time and other details.  Email me if you have questions.  Leanna at discoveryelementaryfair@gmail.com
