Block Party 2008
Organizers are gearing up for the 2008 Block Party fundraiser for Northern Rockies Medical Center. The date has been set. The location has been booked. And final arrangements are being made for a fun-filled weekend, offering shoppers the chance to shop dozens of sales, play games, win prizes and eat all in one spot. This year’s Block Party will be held at the Joe Meagher Memorial Civic Center on May 16-17. Hours of the event will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Now is the time for businesses to sign up for booth space-either indoors, outdoors or both. Full-size indoor booths measure approximately 20’x20’ and cost $500. Small and home-based businesses are invited to purchase a table for $100.
Checks for both should be made out to NRMC.Businesses that purchase a booth are asked to either provide a game or raffle. Each business will donate a prize worth at least $50 and these prizes will be drawn for at the end of the sale.
The game or raffle and door prize are optional for those who purchase table space.
For $1, shoppers can play the game or purchase a raffle ticket. Shoppers who play every game and/or purchase a raffle ticket from every business will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize.
All proceeds from the games will be donated to NRMC. All participating businesses will be involved with the set up and clean up at the civic center.
Additionally, raffle tickets for a brand new, state-of-the-art Whirlpool washer and dryer or a new four-piece kitchen from Whirlpool, which includes a new refrigerator, dishwasher, range and microwave, valued at $2,700, will go on sale later this week. Tickets are $5 each or six for $20.
Heading up this year’s Block Party are Billman’s Inc., Billman’s Home Decor and Northern Ford. To reserve your space(s) at the Block Party, call Rick or Jeff Billman at 873-4123 or John Waller at 873-5541.
Organizers encourage businesses to utilize both newspaper and radi advertising not only during the week of the Block Party but also the week or two before the event to ensure a successful sale.
