Morrinsville Homeschool History Fair

Wednesday 30th June 2010

Venue: Campbell Hall, Canada Street, Morrinsville

Times:

Set up from 8.30

Judging at   9.00

viewing from 10.00 (for those not exhibiting)

Vendors will be coming:  confirmed so far is Creaky Corner, a couple of others are getting back to me.

Prices: $5.00 per entry, Maximum of $15.00 per family

If you are doing one entry with the whole family it is $5.00, as these are not being judged.

If registered before the 21st June.

This year we will have registrations a bit differently, as I will need to know before the 21st June if you are coming.  If you haven’t registered by then I will need to charge a late fee.  This is to make sure that I cover the cost of the hall hire.

There will also be a sausage sizzle, just as in the past three years.  Proceeds from the Sausage Sizzle go towards prizes etc.

Last Year we were extremely blessed to get the Sausages at a extremely discounted price for New World in Morrinsville, which made this exercise very profitable in that we had some very nice prizes last year.

And this year, prizes are up for grabs for stand-out displays.

entries is reached (limited by venue size), we will be unable to accommodate
you so … REGISTER NOW to secure your place!/s and avoid disappointment!
