Now THAT is a great idea! For even more fun, I should make dresses for our volunteers to wear - they would LOVE that!! :lol: :lol:

I think I need to take pointers from you :mrgreen:

We will definitely use the stuff they send up too, but we don't do our fair until the end of January so we have plenty of time to come up with ideas! Thanks for doing your Fair - I know the kids love it and the schools greatly appreciate it, and love it too! :D

that's such a shame :cry: ...it is such a great way to get the kids excited about books and reading! We have a program where we offer vouchers to teachers to hand out to kids who won't get any books (for whatever reason) - the teachers give them out as prizes for various reasons and the smile on those kids faces is so touching - you know that THEY know these vouchers are the only way they would have received a book this year...they hold them with such love :D !
