Craft Fair – Dave & Paula Fritz
Main hallway, main square, and cafeteria are full. Lower square about half full. Upper square is sparse. Considering moving upper square crafters to lower level. In the past we used 2nd & 3rd until a few years ago. 3rd floor has never been really full. Have opened up more booth space on the lower level. Final craft fair info will be mailed out to crafters mid-November.
Advertising out to Riverbender and Advantage. May take some students to WBGZ for radio interview about what ABOB has does for the students.
Radios have been ordered from Datatronics.
New Craft Fair signs are in. $10 each for 20 signs.
Lindsey passed out Craft Fair cards to crafters in Edwardsville. Dave & Paula passed out Craft Fair cards to crafters at a couple of craft fairs.
Several crafters are no longer doing craft fairs. Aging out or just not profitable for them.
We may be able to use the new Alton H.S. buses to shuttle shoppers at Craft Fair.
Brad Donoho is taking on parking. Suggested we put out Craft Fair sign up sheets for parent-teacher conference.
