The
Homelearners' Fall Fair
Invitation to Vendors
The
19th Annual Homelearners' Fall Fair will be held at The New Church
of Concord in Concord, MA. Homeschooling families are invited
to display and sell their crafts, or perform music, storytelling,
skits, dance etc. This is a bright, welcoming space that includes
an area for performances.
We
are looking for fine quality crafts, kits and small gifts that
sell well to the general
public. Good food will be sold at the event.
A
note to parents: Children can easily be discouraged if their crafts
don’t sell up to their expectations. They may take it personally.
Prepare your children for this possibility.
Use it to discuss marketing, demand, pricing or other factors
that will influence sales.
Call this an experiment to test the market and learn.
We
are looking for performers. Performers are an integral part of
this event. People come for the performances as much as for the
crafts and more attendees benefit all. Would you like to perform?
Are you part of a performing group? (Magic, circus, music, dance,
gymnastics, drama etc.) Would you or some of your group be interested
in performing at the Fair? Contact Milva McDonald at 781-648-5579.
