SUMMARY:Holiday Mock Market Day
DESCRIPTION:Holiday Mock Market Day\nBy Cola City Homeschoolers\nWednesday\, Oct. 30\nfrom 10am-noon\nAll ages — $5/vendor space\nMarket Day is a fun\, opportunity to be a creative entrepreneur and snag a bunch of treats! Wednesday\, October 30th from 10am to noon. Wear your costumes\, too! \nLocation: Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia\, 2701 Heyward St\, Columbia\, SC 29205 Free parking along both sides of the street–look for the entrance at the corner/front side of the building. \n(Let Grow Play Club meet-up: Hide and Seek Trick or Treat is at Owens Field afterwards from 1-3pm) \nEntrepreneur Challenge: create items for “sale”: something fun\, useful\, or beautiful. Holiday Theme recommended. \nIdeas for getting started: Bookmarks\, DIY Slime\, Homemade Soaps\, Origami Creations\, DIY Stress Balls\, Sun Catchers\, Dream Catchers\, Beaded Bracelets\, DIY Bouncy Balls\, DIY Bath Bombs\, Wood Crafts\, DIY PlayDoh\, Picture Frames\, Small Clay Dishes\, Paper Flowers\, Pet Rocks\, Painted Stones\, Magnets\, Mod Podge Creations\, Homemade Comics\, Pour Paintings\, Keychains. Edible items are permitted\, too: either homemade or packaged creatively. \nParticipants may set up as individual vendors or partner together. Market Day bucks will be provided per vendor space\, to shop for items. Each vendor space is $5 (will be provided $20 Market Day bucks). Partners sharing a space will also share their market day dollars. \nVendors please price items or have a price sign. Each participant will be provided with Market Day Bucks only–no coins. So keep that in mind with your prices. \nNotes to clarify about the market day bucks and the particpation fee: \n\nParticipants will not earn or use “real money.” Think of it more like a mock market day or a trading day. The currency is a set amount for each participant–so they can value their items and trade within the closed economy. Like a barter system of sorts–they’ll walk away with other “goods” to show for their contribution to the economy.\nWe do have a small fee for participation to cover our overhead costs of running and organizing Cola City. That money goes into the “economy” of this event and this support resource.\nConsider the real life value of your market items between $.25-$1.50 per items. Prepare 15-30 items for your store. Set the market day bucks prices between $1-$5.\nBonus bucks ($5)  for vendors who incorporate recycled\, repurposed or environmentally-friendly products–and can explain this component.\nParents will not have any spending money. Roles will be reversed\, to get your child to buy items that you might want.\n\nSign up here to get a vendor space:
