The craft fair at the Eagles lodge was a dud

When I say "dud" I don't mean great. The craft fair that the group attended on Saturday, November 23, 2008 was the worst sales we have had yet. I think that after the $10 table fee we netted $2.00 for the whole day. The only sales made were to the reporter from the Lebanon Express.

Did I mention that we are all going to be in the local newspaper? Well I am mentioning it now. Larry is the reporter that is doing a story on our group's efforts. The story might be in the Lebanon Express this coming Wednesday. It will give me an excuse to buy the paper tommorrow. Larry did the interview on Friday the 22nd at the school with all the kids going on the trip. The following day he came to the craft fair to take photos of the group.

Hopefully the article will mention this website and we get lots of visitors.

Our next event will be at Lacomb School on December the 6th. The school has asked us to supply desert for the chili feed they are hosting. I will be making jelly filled cupcakes with whipped cream frosting, Diane will be making brownies. There will also be pies. We will have a table of crafts there as well. Cindee is trying to locate someone willing to donate Christmas trees for the group to sell at Lacomb School on the 6th. If you know of anyone willing to donate trees then just leave a comment below. If you put your contact information in the comment I won't publish it but we will be in touch with you.

Our second meeting

Tonight we had a brief meeting as a group and talked about several various ways we would be fund raising. Of course we will be participating in several local craft shows/sales. Hopefully they are not booked up by now and the cost of reserving a "spot" or table will not break the bank. After our short meeting we all went to the school district meeting where we all came away with more handouts and ideas for fund raising.

We seem to have a talented bunch when it comes to cooking and crafts. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
