2010 EVENTS: FANTASTIC
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY for At the Catfish Festival in Floodwood last weekend, Crescendo families living in that area did a test run with the snowcone machine. We are pleased to report that the results exceeded any of our expectations! Snowcone-making is not difficult and is actually quite fun. Our booth was very popular and the public loved our cones (probably because we put extra syrup on them!) We need 64 people to man our Crescendo booth, ages 6th grade to adult. Adults will run the ice shaver and handle the money, and children/adults will fill the cones and pour on the syrup. We will have 4 two-hour shifts per day, for four days, running from 10 AM to 6 PM. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to run this operation! Please, if you are able to volunteer for one or two shifts, that would be great! The dates are: Thursday through Sunday, July 29th to August 1st. (Crescendo will perform a musical drama with 12 string players on August 30th). Now, here is the GREAT NEWS! When you volunteer, you and your immediate family can enter Treasure Adventure FREE!!! Yes, the Treasure Adventure people will graciously allow our volunteers to enter without cost. This is a tremendous bargain! Please look at the Treasure Adventure program at the end of the e-mail, and you will be amazed at how much fun you will have there with your family! I will be calling you very soon to see if you will be able to volunteer. Please, if possible, volunteer on Thursday or Friday, and we will schedule families who work Monday-Friday on the weekend. Hey! Tell your child to bring along a friend to also volunteer. It will be a challenge to fill all 64 spots in our schedule, and we will need all the help we can find! We expect long lines at our booth, and are excited that this will be a profitable fundraiser for the orchestra! All proceeds will help to fund the purchase of additional violins; repair and maintenance on violins; orchestra outings; and lessons and instructors. In advance, THANK YOU SO MUCH for volunteering to help at the Crescendo fundraiser! Eloise Cook Treasure Adventure Program Renaissaise Faire (yes! the famous one from Twig, MN (normal admission price to their event: $15) will bring many of their key acts and booths – in full costume! – to Treasure Adventure! Early Trappers Camp "Re-enactment of the 10th through the 15th century" World-famous treasure hunters such as author/adventurer Scott Mitchen, Captain Fismer, Chewie Knecht, Charles Hambleton (academy award winner for "The Cove"), Michael Bean (Caribbean Musical sensation and treasure hunter) will all be on site, signing autographs, giving presentations and talking about their adventures and showing over 8 million-dollars in treasures and real 17th Century Treasure Chests! Treasure-filled sand piles: Lost Coins, actually recovered from all time periods for ancient to modern eras, (over ten thousand dollars worth) will be hidden in piles of sand, and children will hunt for them, using actual metal detectors. Each child can find one coin and keep it. Top-name entertainment and Pirate Shows will perform on two stages throughout the day. Delicious food sold by numerous vendors. Other entertainment will also be scheduled. NOTE: Snowcone volunteers will need to stay focused on their tasks, which is why we plan to schedule parents on different shifts. If you volunteer, please make sure you have adequate help with your younger children. The site is surrounded by water; it is fenced, but there will be many people there, so parents will need to watch their children near the water and in general in the crowds (and for the safety and protection of the treasures on display). |
