My fellow PCers I need some help! I am doing my first fundraiser for a local horse resue. Woo Hoo! I was wondering if I should set up my booth just like a craft show, or should I try something more creative. I am doing a horse treat cookbook with recipes I have used for years. Of course, I have catered the cookbook around using PC products! I haven't decided how much I am going to charge for the cookbook. I do know that 50% of it will go to the rescue.

But I need to know what I else I can do. Do I do a demo? Or do I just have apples, carrots, potatos, etc. available for them to try our tools with? I have now gone inactive so I am looking for a lift from this. Please let me know what you think!!!:confused:
 
Congrats on your fundraiser! Just wanted to make you aware that at PC shows you can't promote or sell anything that's not PC... so you might have to re-think your horse treat cookbook :(
 
Yeah but this is not a show, right? I think if you just happen to mention the cookbook it's ok.
 
Congrats on fundraiser, hope you do well.

Use the phrase, "Let's horse around with Pampered Chef" make snacks for horses, let people feed the horses. Highlight the options for people food too.

You guys are fabulous!!! I love the treats for the horses! As far as the cookbook, it's gonna cost around $1 to make. So, I haven't decided on a price. I just thought that it would be a good way to get people to at least buy something for the fundraiser. I will attach the cookbook for you! Enjoy!!
