Be Part Of The Fun At The Iowa State Fair!
Dear Honey Producers:
We hope you will be able to help the Iowa Honey Producers Association with honey and lemonade sales at the 2008 Iowa State Fair. Dates of this year’s fair are August 7th through the 17th. Please bring any other helpers with you who may be interested in working. Children who are ten years of age and older enjoy assisting and are welcome. We will send passes which provide free entry to the State Fair to all who assist with honey and lemonade sales.
Days, dates and times for which help is needed are listed at the bottom of this letter. Please return the work schedule, call or e-mail, if you prefer, indicating the dates and times you will help. Also, if possible, please list a first or second choice of dates and times you can be available to help with sales. Please state the names of all those coming with you who will be helping with State Fair sales.
I already have dates filling up. Thanks to those who have asked for a specific date at this early time. Remember that we need approximately 21 people per day to fill the necessary shifts. The building is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for each of the 11 days that the Iowa State Fair runs. This is the main money making project of the Iowa Honey Producers Association. Please help us maintain adequate money to provide the necessary programs of the association.
We had a fantastic year last year and hope to continue the large amount of sales this year. Please consider helping your association.
Hope to see you at the Iowa State Fair!
