Creighton Farmers Market/Carnival - October 16th 2010

We are considering hosting a Farmers Market at the beginning of next school year. The date hasn't been set, but we are looking at Late September / Early October. To do this we are going to need a Huge volunteer force to pull it off. Andrea Fitzgerrell will be the Chairperson for this event.

Spend time this summer talking to friends, family and everyone else you know that may be interested. Also, pay attention to local fairs, markets and carnivals. What booths do they have, notice the number of volunteers, etc. I NEED all of you to help! Funds will go towards Creighton field trips and other school needs. But larger than that, it will be a great way to get our community involved and help local families and businesses.

The details are tentative at best but here are a few thoughts. We will most likely charge an area fee (or donation). We will request that everyone bring their own tables, tarps and anything else needed to run their booths.

Will need

craft vendors
fruit/vegetable vendors
plant vendors
canners
candlemakers
tupperware or any direct sales people
yard eggs
fall harvest such as pumpkins
hay bales
fall seedlings
herbs

I would also like to see families sponsor carnival games and booths.

Cake walk
Ring Toss
possible silent Auction
possible hay bale maze
moonwalk
face painters
petting zoo
dino dig
snowcones -
popcorn

I would like to see each grade level sponsor a booth as well

sand art
student art show



 As you can see, we need ideas and lots of help. Each area we add, will need a chairperson to coordinate it.  If we start planning now, all those interested will be able to spend the summer planning on what they can make or sell.  Please e-mail me with any thoughts, ideas, or interests in booths. I will post Andrea's contact information at a later date.
