Marble fishing is picking up marbles with your toes. We had two swimming pools going. Three kids per pool. Twenty seconds per game. We had it outside so there wasn't a big mess.
The gold mine is swimming pools with packing peanuts and prizes. It's great for the preschool kids.
Last year we had 438 K-4. This year we are over 500!!. The rest of our money comes from corporate cash donation, spaghetti dinner, silent auction, and general store. Our total net was $20K and we were through by the second weekend of October.
Wow Potts! We netted around $15k last year. It was a record for us. In addition to the royaliy contest we have a ham supper, plus the games, and we do pretty well with our prize walk. Last year they did Christmas Baskets for $5.00 per walk (as opposed to $.25-$1.00), every spot was full. It nearly doubled the average profit of the walk. We have cakes too, but more donations so we just call it a prize walk. We have about 450 students. We do our festival(just the games and if we have enough parents and prizes we do the walk, also concessions) 2 hours during the day and then again that evening for the whole community.
