What is ‘Fete in a Box’?

Our ‘Fete in a Box’ Countdown is the predecessor to our book: The Practical Fete Handbook for Fundraising Event Organisers! The book contains all of the information in this article and so much more – consolidated in an easy-to-read format, including the bonus: 99 Fete Stall Ideas! You can buy the book in printed form or as an eBook here.

5 Days to Go! It’s time for:

Convenor

  • Daily to do list for the week – delegate what you can
  • Business cards or printouts of phone # of convenor, logistics, treasurer etc
  • Fete day kit: Create a vomit clean up kit – bucket of sand or something like that to cover it plus disinfectant etc

☐ Treasurer

  • Something to think about for fete day (a tip from our Facebook Fete Convenors community) our food stalls and bar got hit pretty hard with big notes at the dinner rush, after being open all day, so make sure you don’t clear out their change too early when you do your money collections.

To access all of the great stuff, make sure you're a member of the Fundraising Whisperer's Toolbox - it's free and has 100s of tools, tips and templates so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
