Unfair rates for booths at the Viola Homecoming
We are the people who founded the idea for the carnival games for the children at Viola Homecoming. The Viola Homecoming Committee has decided to charge us a flat $200 per booth to set our games up this year. We have done these games for the last five years paying $10 a booth. Last year, they wanted 20 percent of our profits.
We don’t think this is right for they are only charging $10 to 15 per booth for the crafts. We don’t make very much profit from these games. We only charge $1 per game and we have never had a parent to complain that it was to much.
It makes us proud to be a part of the homecoming and to see these children win a stuffed animal or a toy they want. We have always made sure they win something from these games so they can have memories of the homecoming later on.
We would like everyone’s support to encourage the Viola Homecoming Committee to reconsider and bring the price back down to a reasonable rate so we can afford to set the booths back up for the children this year. We feel this is a great wrong they have done to us and the children who looked forward for us to be there each year. So please if you people support us in this, please let the people of Viola know how you feel.
Thank you,
