The Work Continues

Alright, so sponsor letters have been sent, I have redone the Information poster, and plans have been finalized with the bands. Next week will be some early press releases to my "reach" media outlets (to borrow a phrase from the college-search lexicon): national news outlets, the Associated Press, Oprah and other major talk shows. You know me, I like to aim high. On the off chance that one of these places agrees to feature the Craft Fair, it will mean a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of these diseases.
I'm thinking about creating some sort of video of the Craft Fair to serve as a retrospective since this Fair will be our tenth (!). In addition, I have been adding bits and pieces to the book I'm working on about the fair... it's in the very early stages, but I'm enjoying writing about the little things I've learned from the Fair.
I'm also making crafts, which is quite fun. We have a ton of materials accumulated over the years.
If you know a crafter or are a crafter, I can hook you up with materials if you would like to make stuff for the fair. If you have items already made, we welcome donations. Also, if you have small toys that can serve as prizes, we would love those too.
One exciting tidbit: we may be getting a Moonbounce this year! More details to follow.
Thank you all once again for your support.
