[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 294590, member: 1233"] Get a bunch of big trucks, fire trucks, telephone co trucks with the baskets, forklifts, bulldozers, etc... Have them all come and park in the field or a parking lot. Let the kids explore them and take pics with them. A family here did this as a fundraiser to pay for adopting a baby from overseas. they got several thousand and the kids were charged $4 per kid or $10 per family. (Using the $4 amt, and as a fundraiser for a family, the $4 encouraged parents to tell them to just keep the $1) At one point the machine operators showed a crowd how the bulldozer, cement truck, lift trucks, etc... worked. The kids (and Dads and Gpas) were all fascinated. Since that was near the end of the day, families stayed longer because the kids wanted to see the demonstration. Another fundraiser? Arm some kids with bottles of hand sanitizer. a quarter gets 2 pumps full, and have them near the food and beverages. Also have kids with babywipes near the restrooms for handwashing or the unexpected diaper change. Some flushable wipes would be handy for sale for cleaning the toilet seat if a person was inclined to do that. These are things I would HAPPILY pay for at any event. I am constantly baffled that no one does this. our port a potties have a dispenser for sanitizer, but it doesn't last a full day when they put in a refill. and you still have to touch the door handle to get out. That ALWAYS icks me out. I hope you have a great time! [/QUOTE]
