Setup will be 1000 - 1100 and teardown will be 1500 - 1600.

We are waiting for James to confirm with MSU on the day/date and location. With other events I the area, we prefer the 3rd or 4th Saturday in July. This gives us plenty of time for planning and promotion.

Types of activities that have been successful -

1) Barbers/stylist for veterans haircuts

2) Outdoor recreation: Fishing trips, getaways, etc.

3) Art fest (Muskegon having an art fest for vets)

 

Top 3 types of vendors:

1) Practical - Financial resources / Housing vendors / landlords / discount info, etc.

2) Community based experts - public library resources

3) Outdoor/recreation - Michigan DNR vet resources

 

Suggest a new vendor:

1) Heroes for hearing loss - Have an App so when you have a phone call come through you can elect to read it. Provide the phones/tech free of cost. Heroes is the vet side of it but this also works for civilians as well. Free. Local contact: Jennifer

 

2) Vendor that does the fishing trips, maybe free fishing for kids activity at the pond at the event.

 

3) Financial Coaching - has contact, Gabriella.

 

Layout - subcategorize everyone into types/groups. mud/weather, keep vendors close to sidewalk. event with a map of vendors.
