Allbreeds - Got our flyer. Thanks. Sent you some ideas via e-mail.
Okay, Planners! Here's a list of things we can do at the chicken stock. Tell me what I've missed. Tell me what to change. Tell me, tell me, tell me to not stress because we still have 5 1/2 months to make plans. When I say, "Reserve a space," I mean the building has a lot of cement slabs with chain link enclosures. These areas can be use for setting up cages and poultry-related wares. If we have more sellers than spaces, late-comers can set up against walls or in the grassy area behind the building.
1. First and foremost, this is a
family-centered event. Bring your family and have a good time.
2. People can
sell hatching eggs, poultry, and waterfowl. No four-legged animals, please. Other wares should be poultry oriented, with the exception of soaps, jams, jellies, you get the idea. We dont want anyone to bring garage sale items to this event.
3. There is
no charge for setting up cages and selling birds. Reserving a space is recommended. Let me know via e-mail that you are bringing birds.
[email protected]. I can assign people a place to set up. I need to finish drawing the map of the building, which can be posted online on the planning thread. I can update the map as spaces are reserved. It will be like picking your seats for an opera, but without the singing part
4. Anyone who puts birds in the Pay the Seller Poultry Sale is encouraged to
tip the guy calling birds for the sale. He offered to do this for free, but its a lot of work. We will have a tip jar on the sale table for this purpose. There is no commission, so leaving a tip ought to be okay with most buyers and sellers.
5. People should
bring cash to pay for birds. I dont think anyone is able to take credit cards, and checks are not as satisfying in a sellers pocket as cash. Small bills make buying easier. I know I cant make change for anything over $20.00 most days.
6.
People need to have their own cages to transport birds. There will probably be a few cages for sale at the event.
7. Knowledgable people are encouraged to have displays and may offer demonstrations for beekeeping, canning, soap making, quilting, etc. Reserving a 30-minute time slot for a demonstration is encouraged. It will reduce my stress and well be able to post a schedule. Interested persons can e-mail me at
[email protected].
8. Sell your homemade soap, needle work, artwork, etc. Youll need to bring your own table and chair. E-mail me to reserve a space. I will make a detailed map to post so that people can find the person selling Mountain Dew jelly, or the family with the extra transport cages for sale.
