2010 Scholastic Book fair set

Mark your calendar... November 8-13, 2010 is the tentative date for next year's HANCK Scholastic Book Fair!

Even though we had less than $300 in sales this year, we will be able to host another book fair.  I expected sales to be down somewhat from last year due to economic stresses, but we also had bad timing with illness in many families that had planned to come.
 
If we don't break $500 next year, I'm sure they won't let us do it again. We had to get an exception this time to book for 2010. At someone's suggestion (I think it was Kris), I have moved the fair to November. We'll advertise as early Christmas shopping and perhaps hold a Thanksgiving related event. I would definitely appreciate ideas for advertising, increasing traffic and sales, and ways to make it fun and inviting.
