Fun Fair Help Needed
The Fun Fair is coming…The Fun Fair is coming!
When? Saturday, September 28th 11am – 2pm
Where? Nancy Young Elementary School
A NEW school year is almost here and plans for Fun Fair 2013 are well under way, but we need YOU to make this event AWESOME! We will have family-friendly games, food, prizes, Grab Bags and MORE!!! Please consider volunteering your time and talents for this year’s Fun Fair. We will need several volunteers to help and we hope that you will consider being a part of this great event.
Here’s what we need NOW:
· Games – We will have several carnival-style games for the kiddos that will make this day perfect for families. We’ll have a duck pond, lollipop pull, basketball shootout, home run derby and MORE! If you would like to help run a game – we need you! All games will be set up the night before by Awesome A Amusements. Games will be EASY to run and our volunteers will be trained on how to do it. We are asking volunteers to sign up for 1 hour shifts – if you can spare an hour, please contact BrendaMontemayor .
· Mystery/Grab Bag donations – This is one of the most popular parts of the Fair. We will have a “Mystery/Grab Bag” booth where children can use their punch cards to “purchase” a bag. We need fun little items to put in those bags. Items we are looking for include – Candy, pencils, stickers, small toys, Happy Meal – ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEAN AND UN-USED, PLEASE. If you have these items and would like to donate them, please contact Kristine Luster at .
***Items can also be dropped off at 2598Kendridge Lane – all items must be dropped off by September 25th.
· Bake Sale & Refreshments – A Fair would not be complete without delicious food. We will need volunteers to help set-up, organize and sell our delicious goodies. Bake sale items will be donated by Nancy Young families, so now is the time to think about what goodies you and your family can bake or even purchase to donate. If you’d like to help with the “Bake Shoppe” contactZena Weir at .
· Raffles – Because this is a new event, we wanted to put a new spin on raffles. Each classroom will work together to coordinate a “themed classroom basket” to be raffled off at the Fun Fair. Some ideas for baskets are: Movie Night – a basket with movie tickets/certificates, Beach/Pool Fun – a basket filled with all the essentials for a fun day at the pool or beach, etc…the ideas are endless. We will need families to donate items or money for the baskets…start thinking about what your child’s class basket could be! If you’d like to help collect items for the Raffle Baskets and put raffle baskets together or help run the Raffles during the Fun Fair, please contact WendyBalda .
As you can see, there are many places to volunteer and participate at this event. Please contact Robin Schoolman if you would like to be a part of the Fun Fair 2013.
