Thank you for participating in the 2005 DPMC Craft Fair at Dover High School. We have already begun planning for next year’s fair, with key focus on areas such as how to advertise more creatively and effectively, how to better accommodate our disabled crafters and guests, and how to make food service more accessible to our crafters. We would appreciate your thoughts on how things went, and any suggestions you may have for future fairs.
Planning and coordinating our craft fairs requires a lot of effort from the committee members and others who volunteer their time and want the fair to be a success. How we run the fair is largely based on input from crafters who have participated over the years. Because planning, organizing, and overseeing the fair is done by volunteer parents, some group memory is lost as volunteers change. Helping to minimize the impact of this “lost memory” is one reason your comments are important. We assure you that your thoughts are appreciated and will be taken seriously as the committee reviews the day’s events.
To make it easier to plan the layout of future events, please make note of your space number so you can refer to it. While we cannot guarantee the same space from year to year, we try to accommodate crafters’ wishes for a specific space or location. Remember, spaces are assigned on a “first come, first served” basis. In the interest of fairness, we cannot accept early requests for reservations. All crafters are contacted through our mailing at the same time. The sooner you respond to our announcement, the better your chances of getting the space you want.
