September 20 is less than two weeks away now, and all the major planning for our baby fair is in place. We are excited about our record-setting 28 vendors, the terrific line-up of speakers and presentations, and also about the growing number of wonderful raffle items we have received from generous donors.
From 10am to 2pm, we’ll be running a bake sale, giving out free registration packets to those who sign in, and providing free breastfeeding information. There will be a Fun Zone for free children’s activities, a Rock-and-Rest tent complete with rocking chairs and shade, and even a Dad’s Den for some male camaraderie. Also, the Davidson Police Department will be doing free safety checks of carseat installation — call 704-892-5131 for your 15-minute appointment.
Just a few of our raffle items:
One year of free organic milk (52 free product coupons) from Organic Valley — worth $360
A Medela Freestyle Pump, donated by Haute Momas Maternity Boutique — worth $380
A free semester-long class at The Little Gym — worth $327
We’ll have more details about the raffle soon!
