Anchorage Market & Festival provides free of charge a double sized 20' wide x 10' long tent set-up and ready-to-go with four 4-foot tables for the use by Anchorage's kids aged 8 to 16 to sell their handcrafted or Alaska grown products; raise funds for their kids' group or organization by selling products, event and raffle tickets, soliciting donations or providing information to introduce their groups to others and thereby gain recognition and/or members. It is a requirement that all funds raised go to help Alaska Kids.
Reservations are necessary, call 272-5634. The Anchorage Market & Festival is open Saturdays and Sundays May 12 to September 9, 2007 from 10AM to 6PM, and we ask that the table be manned for that time period unless all products are sold out. Shared days and tables are allowable. No water, soda, juice, sports drinks or energy drinks may be sold in the booth.
Parents are welcome to help with the table set-up and display, but the kids should do the selling. Part of the booths' value is in teaching students how to deal with people, learn how to work/make a living and how to handle money/make change.
Booth will be set-up by market staff. Each youth will have a 30" x 4' table and one stool or chair provided. Kids should bring product to sell, cash box and change, signs, table cover (if desired) and a battery powered calculator (if needed). A Great Attitude and really big smile helps!
Donations from booth sales are requested, not mandated, and will be 100% donated to the Kid's Kitchen in Fairview. Kid's Kitchen has served more than 500,000 nutritious meals + 63 killer brownies to children since September 1996. For more information go to the Kid's Kitchen web site @ http://www.
