Questions, Email: Egan Holiday Faire Chairperson
The Holiday Faire is a fun way for Egan students to learn about making and selling a product while earning money for themselves and the Egan School Library. The Faire fills both the Egan multi and library, with free gift-wrapping available as well.
Customers for the Faire are Egan students, teachers, parents, and incoming sixth graders. Food is very popular, and therefore very competitive to sell. Make your product unique.
New: booths are assigned on a random basis. Registration starts on Wednesday Oct. 19 and continues until all of the booth spaces are filled. A sample or photo of products must be submitted at registration (samples will be returned to students). A minimum $20 booth fee is required. This fee includes a refundable cleaning deposit, which is $5 for booths inside the multi and $10 for booths inside the library. The proceeds go to the Egan school library.
Holiday Faire Guidelines
We ask that students observe the following rules:
- Students must make at least part of the craft or food item themselves.
- All food items must be wrapped.
- 1 or 2 students per booth. One registration form can be used for two students as long as each student’s parent signs the registration form.
- Because some teachers do require students to attend class on the day of the Faire, students without a partner should make arrangements for someone else to cover his/her booth during these times.
- Students cannot close down or remove tables until 12:30 pm when the Faire is over. To receive the $5 cleaning deposit, a parent volunteer must check the booth space. If a student leaves without checking out, they forfeit their refund to the Library.
- Unacceptable items:
• no unwrapped food items • no paint or glitter on site • no open flame • no tables larger than 3 feet squared • no amplified music • no commercial items • no rental time to use commercial items (ex. Wii games) • no microwave • no deep fryer • no electrical booth decorations • no glue gun • no weapons • no animal or fish • no explosives • no gum • no propane stove
Electrical Outlet Lottery
There are 18 booths with an electrical outlet available for this year's Holiday Fair. Assignment of these booths will be determined by a lottery on September 28. To enter the lottery, download and fill out the Electrical Lottery Form and drop it off in the Holiday Faire box in the Egan office before September 28. Result of the lottery will be announced on September 29.
