The Back 2 School Festival offers a great opportunity to expose families to the amazing organizations and businesses our county has to offer. We invite community organizations, businesses and churches to come share information with families about their products, services, classes or organization.
Habitat for Humanity: Popsicle stick house building
Children's Playhouse: STEM play
Foot Sloggers Boone: Backpack Flare/Decor
All booths are asked to provide an interactive game, activity or craft in order to add the festival feel.
Activities and prizes at booths turn this event into a festival and add a level of excitement that keeps families engaged. A booth can also offer items that will help kids succeed in the year ahead such as, pencils, pens, crayons, backpack accessories, or toiletries like tissues, hand santizers, etc.
We will offer a limited number of tables for info-only booths. We ask that any information at booths be respectful and family-appropriate.
Important informatioN:
Set up: Friday Aug. 9 from 2pm-6pm.
Day of: You will be able to arrive by 8:30am. It is important that you are set up for the entirety of the day until 4:00.
Breakdown: Please do not break down early unless we tell you to.
Things to bring: Table Cloth, Sign, Bungees to Hang Banners on the Bleachers, any decor to help draw families to your booth, supplies for activities or information to share.
Please remember no children will be allowed to work the booths with you. Every child that comes to the festival should feel welcome and confident. At times, seeing classmates behind the tables can undermine the feeling we are trying to build. For the sake of those coming to the festival, please make other arrangements for children of employees and volunteers.
We hope you will join us!
