The Fair Board has scheduled fundraisers to help cover the expenses of bringing a fair court and a float to the communities hosting parades and other activities (for example: carnival rides & lunch). The Princesses & parents will be asked to participate (selling tickets, decorate, baking, setting-up, flower sales, clean-up, etc.). These fundraisers are currently scheduled:

1._Princess Meetings. Usually scheduled one hour before regular Fair Board meetings

A Princess must sell seven hundred and fifty (750) tickets before she becomes eligible for Queen.

The Kalama Fair Queen will be determined by Ticket Sales PLUS Participation Points.

In the event of a tie, the Princess with the highest ticket sales will become Queen.

20 points - WORK PARTIES (20 points for first 2 hours, 5 points for each additional hour)

20 points - FUND RAISERS (20 points for first 2 hours, 5 points for each additional hour)

Explanation of FLOAT and PARADE PARTICIPATION points: The intent of awarding these points is to reward the family of a princess that participates and supports all of the girls AND The Princess Court Manager; before,during and after a parade event. This could include chaperoning for ticket sales, chaperoning for public relations, positioning a float and retrieving afloat after a parade, float construction and deconstruction. Supplying weather protection and food can also apply. Parade Participation also requires the family members (or guardians) to wear clothing representing and identifying the Kalama Fair “Team”.

Lose 10 Points – per each item missing from your Princess Wardrobe at a function requiring those Items; (Ex. your crown, sash, Princess T-Shirt) Call Mara at 673-4016 if problem arises.

Princesses are encouraged to seek out their own POINTS. Ask your chaperone or Board Member first!!! Fair Board members can give you a project that has participation points assigned to it.

Each Princess will have her own journal (Agenda) to record PARTICIPATION POINTS earned. All entries are to be made by your chaperone or Board Member and all entries are to be confidential. Your agenda book MUST be present at ALL events or points will not be awarded. Final entries can be no later than Noon of July 23^RD, Thursday, your book must be presented at that time. Princess journals (Agendas) will then become the property of the Kalama Community Fair.

A WORK PARTY will be defined as a group of Kalama Community Fair participants accomplishing tasks determined to be beneficial to the Kalama Community Fair property, programs,advertisement and goals of The Fair. The work party will be supervised by a Fair Board Member, but can consist of many groups of interested people.

A WORK PARTY must meet a minimum of 2 hours. 20 points will be awarded for each work party. Each additional hour will be awarded 5 points. To receive points from a scheduled Work Party, One Princess and One Adult with that Princess is required. A working adult must be present for at least two hours.

PARTICIPATION in a Kalama Community Fair task, under the supervision of a Fair Board member will earn a princess 10 Points for the first hour, 5 points each additional hour. (Ex.after a regular scheduled meeting, a Princess looking to earn points, asks aboard member for a task and she is given the task of painting signs while that board member is at the fairgrounds.

A WORK PARTY may be scheduled or unscheduled and should the opportunity for an unscheduled party arrive, ALL princesses must be notified as soon as possible. (Ex. a parent has agreed to cut the grass at the fairgrounds and the princess is going to use their weedeater, all other princesses must be extended the invitation to work at the fairgrounds at that time.)

TASKS FOR PARTICIPATION POINTS that are taken home to do, unsupervised, by a Fair Board member will have assigned the total points that can be rewarded for that task – before it is taken home. Therefore, the amount of time spent on that task will not affect the point value of your task. (Ex. sewing 25 Treasure Hunt pouches, you can take as long as you like, have a friend help or sew very quickly, the points you can earn have been predetermined and will be awarded upon completing the job as agreed upon.)

A PRINCESS may determine an opportunity has risen to meet the criteria necessary for a Fair Princess work party to win points. The Princess must have Fair Board approval and supervision. ALL other Princesses must be notified of the work party as soon as possible. (Ex. A Princess may take note that the Animal Barn needs cleaned/stalls put up/small animal cages readied/barn decorated, something she loves to do. The princess sets up a work party by having board approval, supervision and then notifying all other princesses.)

A PRINCESS will be awarded 5 (five) Participation Points for each friend, invited by her, working throughout the work party, at least two hours.

A PRINCESS must arrive with their Princess Journals (agendas)/ schedule book and sign in with the chaperone/board member upon arrival. Princesses must also sign out and notify chaperone/board member when leaving.This is NOT OPTIONAL. Participation Points will be awarded at this time. If schedule book/journal (agenda) is not present during work party sign in, points will not be awarded.

3. Be sure to make careful notes of all the stub numbers you are responsible for. If someone wants to sell tickets for you and you give them a book of tickets then be sure to note the numbers in your agenda book. Because it is easy to get confused!

4. Leave your initials or your personal stamp on the back of every stub in every book that represents you.

If you want to raise money, check with the Fair Board before embarking on a Fundraising project.

11. NEVER go door to door alone!! Many people in our community look forward to a visit from their Fair Princesses, so plan an outing with a friend or another Princess.

12. Before/during/after parades and special events will be very valuable for the selling of your tickets. Many times princesses have underestimated the amount of tickets they needed to have immediately available. Stock up ahead of the event.

13. Information about your ticket sales is NEVER given out to anyone during the ticket selling period. Only the Fair Princess Ticket Manager and the Fair Board Treasurer will be privy to the total ticket sale amounts and dollars returned by you. Keep it confidential.

1. Remember that you are representing your Fair, your sponsor, your community and yourself.

Always let someone know where you are selling tickets and how long you will be there.

6. Ask permission from store owners in advance to sell in or in front of their business.

Introduce yourself, “Hello, I'm Princess……………with the Kalama Community Fair, would you like to support our Fair?”

If you are in front of a business, never run up to someone as they are getting out of their car wait until they are done with their business. As they are returning to their vehicle, say "Excuse me, I am Princess _______, etc."

If you are selling tickets with other princesses, take turns and never take a sale away from another princess.

If you are being chaperoned, be very specific where you will be selling tickets and "check in" often with your chaperone - never leave without chaperone approval.

An invitation to you to attend a special event/meeting should always be cleared with the Fair Court Manager before you accept and attend this event/meeting.

HAVE FUN!!! Remember that ticket sales are extremely important to the financial success of the Kalama Fair. 2000 in Ticket Sales is not an unreasonable number to aim for. *Carry tickets with you and *Take Advantage of any situation. *Plan a strategy and*Ask for assistance in creating opportunities from Fair Board members. They would be *Pleased and Resourceful (ex. setting up car washes or making a raffle prize available to assist in ticket sales). *Look for different events that you may want to attend (with parent approval) to *Create ticket sale opportunities. The Kalama Fair Board wishes you great success in your race to be *2009Kalama Community Fair Queen.
