What's fun in a booth?
Hey, I'm looking for ideas. This is the first year I will have a campaign booth at SummerFEST, Lakewood's annual festival, held this year on Saturday, June 23. I am looking forward to meeting a lot of people who I might miss while knocking on doors. I am looking for ideas about what to have at the booth besides campaign signs, my happy self, chairs and a notepad to write down concerns or thoughts.This is where I need your help. What have you seen at festival booths that you like? Should I have a giveaway raffle for something like a large flowering potted plant, or raffle something else off? Or hand out water balloons to the kids? Well, no, maybe not that ... I am looking for ideas for the look and feel and offerings for a booth that is more uniquely Lakewood. So please send me your ideas. What have you seen that's been interesting elsewhere?
If nothing else, this is a good reminder to reserve June 23 on your calendar. It's important Lakewood support its annual festival, and there are always a lot of fun and mostly free things going on. This year's list, as you can see from the web site above, includes
